Those wheels look good. I like them. What size are those and how far is your car lowered? Is that on stock bolts i keep hearing about?

I love the tint, but how do you see to back up at night?

I had 5% on my old Sonoma and hated it every time I tried to back up at night; you couldn't see anything!

Ha! I thought you meant you forgot to resize the wheels! (i.e., photochop installation). I will assume that you can't drive the car at night because you can't see out of it, or are only the side windows tinted?
