jazzed to see these mounted

from the shots of the test fit, fronts look perfect and with a 15-20mm spacing in the rear it should look baller

keep up the work

Good job!
Can't wait to see the wheels completed!

[P78]

mount the hearts already!

[Tedd81]

I'm going as fast as I can. I'm waiting for some stuff to seal the barrels so I can put them back together.
Also, I won't have the coilovers before the end of this month, so they definatly won't be mounted before that time.

So I did some pre-work today. I don't want my tires to be eaten by the sharp edges in my wheelwells so I put them inwards with a hammer. And up, don't really know how to explain.
As the wheels are wider and the car is going lower, this had to be done.

So, remove the inner thing and tap away with a little hammer. Offcourse heat the paint up with a heatgun so the paint won't crack. No more sharp edges that will destroy my tires.

The pictures might be a little unclear, but here you go...

OEM:


The edge I want gone:


tap away:




Aaaaaaaaaand gone:


Also tuned the inner plastic things a little so I'm not going to rub. I **** rubbing...


Next up, rear...

love those rims mate

[Tedd81]

Finally finished the wheels

I ordered a set of BBS logo's. The real deal cause I just don't like the imitation things.
It didn't feel totally right to cut them up straight from the box, but I had to make them fit. So here it is.



In the center of the wheel



End the final result...
