Do you guys think i should loose the tint?
Thanks for the comments guys!

10-05-07, 21:51 GMT+10#45 i sold them to a mate and put the calais wheels on, then i realised my bad and tried to buy them back but he had already flogged them on ebay!
Really want a set of FR18s, i think FR18s with dish on the back would suit it more than 19s
