Omar takes his homie, Rigo shopping for wheels. First, he gets updated wheels for his '64 Impala and drives by a busy outdoor café to measure the effect.

The second reactions from our crowd of homies, b-girls, and fashionistas are big: envy for the guys and sexy for the girls. Impressed, Omar take the two hottest girls and Rigo for a victory drive.
