    • No, they're an MRR wheel, it was like one of three sets actually released. It was a SEMA display wheel.

I had originally had my rear quarters rolled, and needless to say, It didn’t go as well as planned, and ended up looking awful. I had a few decisions to make, and this is the route I ended up going.

            Let's start this off with your typical shitty filtered instagram photo:


            But if you look closely above the rear wheel, the arch is mangled.

            Now onto the good stuff.



            Beat the ducklip/ripples out with a hammer.


            Found a small bit of rear body work in the quarter, not a big deal. It was actually done really well. Thanks carfax, you cunt.


            Each side in the rear lost about this much factory wheel tub/support.

            I don’t really have photos of the inside but to explain it the best, the quarter was separated from the internal skeleton, it was then pushed out/flared to an inch, braced, seam sealed, and underlined.


            Time for a little body filler.


            If you don’t own one of these cars, you won’t notice much difference, but next to a factory one, it’s very noticeable.


            Next on the agenda, was the front. The front wasn't as badly damaged, but the fender did catch the bead of the tire when it would lift up, which made this awful pop thunder metal shit fuck sound. The passenger front corner had a gnarly crease from the tire catching the fender, so that had to be repaired.


            Repaired, and pulled. A piece of round bar was fused into what was left in the inner lip of the front fender. It's actually stronger then factory, and I don't have to worry about damaging the fender driving around with 30 psi all around.


            Again, unless you own one of these, or are familiar, this doesn't look like much, but it's almost an inch wider then factory.


            I plan on tearing down the entire front clip, cleaning everything up, spray some line-x, and giving everything else a good coat of paint. I've got a few more dings to fix on the car, then it's off to be wrapped.

            This color flips and flops to so many different shades it's insane. I couldn't be happier with the color.
            these wheels are the sema wheels?
