Polished lips? or stepped?

[Tedd81]

Polished, though I'm now wondering what you mean by stepped.

[244Brick]

These are BBS RC90s right? i though there was a stepped lip option?

edit: nevermind lol its 2 pc

[Tedd81]

Yea they are RC090's. No stepped lip option.

[Tedd81]

This is going to be legen ... wait for it ... dary!!

Today I did a testfit with the wheels, no I didn't do this before. I am very very pleased with the fitment. The front needs a little work, but the back is great. Maybe a tiny spacer, but doesn't need much.
Nice!!

I'll let the pictures do the talking











The front is poking a little too much. But a little more low and some camber will fix this for me. Again, very pleased.

Sorry, can't help it that I'm hung well!

[ivanfu]

lol
this is going to look sick
i got fk street coilovers for my s40, less than $300 total
they go pretty damn low

[JVC]

Definitely gotta get some rear spacers just to even out the front to rear fitment. Looks great though!

Side project - polishing "machine"

To polish the wheels I needed something to turn the wheel without the center in it. On youtube I saw a clip of some dude that was using a wheelbarrel wheel to turn it, so that was an awesome idea that I was going to use.

So, I took a wheelbearing that I had lying around with a centerlock wheelhub. I cut off the center treads and made a new aluminum thing to mount the wheel.





Then I welded a baseplate so I can secure the contraption on a wooden base or on my workbench.



And this is how the wheel slips over it.



Now all that is left is the propulsion of the thing so I can have it turning for sanding and polishing.

Why do I do this? Because building this will cost me less time then sanding and polishing it all by hand.
