ChargeSpeedEVOMr's Lexus GS300 New Wheels = New Beginning

[carbongs]

Today was a very happy day in the life of Daniel Chi, AKA WhitEVOMr/ChargeSpeedEVOMr. After nearly 4 months of waiting he finally received his Work Meister S1's.

Follow along as we take a trip with Daniel and his quest for a new look and a new direction for his car. Note* This is my first outing with my Nikon D40 and attempting rolling shots as well as night shots. So, please be gentle with your replies! Any constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!

This is what happy Daniel looks like when he got to my house this morning to roll out with us to Butler Tire in Alpharetta, GA.

Kenny was driver #2 today and helped lug the new rims to the shop and the old wheels and tires back to Daniel's house.

Daniel got primo parking!

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/CarbonGS/11-13-08%20Dan%20Chi%20GS300%20Work%20Wheels/DSC_0070.jpg

A couple of sweet cars we saw once we got there!

Daniel's car was put in the bay almost immediately! We decided to get new tires, adjust all 4 corners for .5 inches lower than he already was and got an alignment done as well!

We then left to hit up a local HID and LED distributor to grab some lights for Kenny and Daniel's brother, Josh.

Then we headed of to Stone Mountain for some scenic shots. It was getting late but we were all so psyched about these wheels finally getting here! We decided to go anyways!
