You should be able to upload them in your Gallery and then a lot of folks manage to find a spot to showcase their work in this forum

No one seems to mind if the subject get's changed, unlike this thread

Sorry, now back to the wheels

Crummy camera-phone pics, and they're just factory wheels, but I put on my new R99s today, and they look kinda kewl with the car dropped a bit. I added JCW centers and changed to wheel studs. I'll get some better pics with a real camera after I wash the car.
