Love it man! Worth the investment for sure. Isn't it funny how a planned meet with other enthusiasts spurs you into stuff? Kind of "crap, if I'm gonna bring this thing, I gotta do this, and this, and this, and..." lol

Kind of why I was up until 2am last night dyeing interior parts

 

Thanks man! And yeah my wife said the same thing about the meet... "If it wasn't for NY you wouldn't be doing any of this..." my reply was well yes hun I would be doing it but not at such a rushed pace to where we have to eat only ramen noodles until i get paid the week after the meet because I cleared out all the account

AND speaking of your dye where is your "update" thread!!

 

looks great man! your guy does good work, that can be tough to find sometimes

 

Alright just a couple pics to give and idea on tires. Now I need to prep them for paint. I really want to keep the polished look but I'm afraid that when stripping the clear I dont want to jack up the gunmetal paint on the inside/sides.

 

never fear man, you can always repaint them. I like those wheels a lot. Seems like the tires are kinda tall on them though, what size are they? Might just be my eyes playing tricks cause they're not on the car yet.

 

they are 225/40/18s! well here's the deal with paint. I Don't Do It! The shop will paint my wheels for me. Which if I just have them paint it it's just the face. If I jack up the sides trying to strip it, then I have to repainting the insides/sides and all the lil' nooks and crannys on all 4 wheels. Which means a lot more work than intended!

 

Falken Koblenz?

You should just keep them as is for now, just polish them to make them shine.

 

Krip I forgot to post this lol! The reason the wheels HAVE to be refinished! My mind is a mess lately trying to get ready!

 

looks like lightning haha

 

Some sanding and some clear coat would do the job!
