watch your backgrounds - also, shooting wide-open will help blur the bg to help remove the distractions of stuff in the distance!

Definitely not me taking the photos. I can't even get good shots on a point and shoot. One of the employees from Wheeldude took the photos. I'm definitely not an expert, but they look good to me.

Damn I love that. The Evo X is starting to grow on me, and white is my fav color. I like the bronze. I wonder what black would have looked like?

I don't own the wheels. This was a shoot for Wheeldude to advertise their new Rota model, and they wanted to show both colors. The wheels I own are flat black and are posted in another thread.

Nice shots. Both look great - would be a tough decision.

The bronze looks better in this rim style.

I have G-Forces in hyperblack on mine and they look gunmetal except in good sunlight. The grids in hyperblack look sweet they are wide enough that you can really see the color, thought abought getting those...

Ahhhh very clean! Glad to see the Rota-hate crowd hasn't hijacked your thread. They lurk in Evo forums like cockroaches. My Evo VIII put 40k miles on a set of Rota Slipstreams without any issues whatsoever. They may not excite the JDM geeks but there's no better bang for the buck in a street rim.

Dual outlets on a turbo-4 is rice...OEM rice. The OP just fixed it. You got it backwards Alex.
