Question for our officers on the board, or if u know the answer pls chime in.

I recently switched to five lug black fr500's, and since then everytime I pass a patrol vehicle waiting to ticket people...

They leave their spot and follow me for a few blocks, luckily they turn back around. My question is... Is there anything about the black rims that attract tickets? Bcoz when

I had my ford racing cobra r's I never really got this. Do any of u remember that pic I had where I mounted my front plate on my right side sun visor? Well on my first time driving around with my black wheels I got pulled over for it.

Again never really got flack for it. Since that time I mounted front plate and is still gettin followed around. I never dog my ride, follow traffic laws, I take my 50 on fridays so when I do drive it I'm still in my work scrubs, so I don't think its profiling. Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to know if there's something I don't.

P.s. I forgot to mention my daughters in the back seat, and I have a baby on board sign, and my car is full legal.

LMAO...tell me why same thing happened to me..i just thought i was beeing paranoid...i had my rims polished before and would never get followed....The day i bring my car out of the shop with color matched lips and black centers i get followed! Than again in two more days when i drive the car again! I cant complain tho, they could follow me all they want as long as i dont get ticketed...
