Lambo article in Dub magazine

This post is pretty much a copy from the one in the Diablo section but it reflects the Murcielago in the article . . .

Issue 11 of Dub magazine "dubmagazine.com" has an article of on Busta Rhymes and his two Lambo (a Murci and Diablo). The are some decent pictures. Not a bad magazine, many nice looking cars while others are a bit over the top, interesting none the less.

Here are some notes and comments from the article:

The Murcielago has some nice looking green highlighted (not as bad ass you think) Lowenhart BS5's. He is running 18's in the front and 19's in the rear. Now I now some people do this namely Corvettes I believe, but how does this look visually and how does it effect the handling of a car. My guess is it probably looks pretty cool with the front end setting about 1/2 lower (at least the ZO6 looks good with it)?

The highlighted interior is not bad looking either (is is color matched to the exterior color).

Finally, you have to checkout the $295,000 (yes you read that correctly) medalion around his neck. Would I buy it if I had it like him? Probably not, I would use it for another car!!!!!!!

Busta Rhymes Murci is probably the most decked out and yet still extremely classy Lambo I have ever seen. I love it! Corrections though. His wheels are Dazz Motorsport Mayas with the green lip accents ive seen this before but never to this high quality. They are 19's in the front and 20s in the back. With white leather interior. His car was also seen on Cribs: Car Edition. Heres the article from Dupont Registry whose facts are 100% accurate as opposed to DUB magazine.

Very cool. Thanks for the clarification

I have seen that issue of Dupont Registry. I am not sure why the Dub magazine has so many mistakes. For instance they claimed his Diablo 6.0 is a 2002 model????

And now you have clarified the rims for me, what's deal???

Anyone know they effects of usining different size rims like this???

Well from experience I run 20" wheels on my truck. Ride quality is a definate disadvantage. Although on a Lambo I'm not sure how much the ride quality would diminish. I will more than likely throw the speedometer off, and you would be going slightly slower than what you see. When I changed from 17" wheels to 20"s my mph were only off by like .5 mph or so, not very much. They are suppose to provide improved turning though, which I do notice on my truck. As for running 19's in the frong and 20s in the back, there is not really any disadvantage or advantage to it. I think it just makes the car site a little higher in the back which makes it look a little sweeter. I have actually heard why the corvettes have the set up they do but can't remember what the reason was. Hope this gives you a better understanding. If you have any more questions about wheels just ask.

Good deal. I do like the look of his cars. The rims do look pretty good with the color match. Thanks for the info.

Did anyone see the grey/silver Murcielago that XZibit recently bought. It was more modified than Busta's and cost over $350,000. He took it for a test drive on a Cribs episode and said he planned to buy it. I like Busta's better.

Saw it, thought it was sweet, but yea I definately like Busta's better. And X to the Z XZibit(how gay does that sound:hehehe He probably didn't even buy it, they just set it up like he did. He kinda seems like he tries to act like he has bad ass cars but in all reality he doesn't have anything.

I would think the different sized wheels on the all wheel drive system would put get the wheels in a bind.
