    So I've been doing little things while finding tires and finishing my wheels.

    My guibo and center support bearing blew up and I fixed it

    Because I've been dragging my car around my brace was practically paper thin so I reenforced it With 1/4in Steel

    I thought my welds looked good. You can see wear part of it was worn through

    I Also Waxed my paint, i need to compound it and do it again

    I drifted till the tires ripped apart and then burned out until the exploded sacrificing my paint.. And somewhere along the way I destroyed my second gear syncro but everyone was loving it so I was happy.

    It was a lot of fun and my diff held up fine.. now I'm out of money and my car is on 3 different types of wheels and looks like compete ass... oh well Time for O.C. cruise week

    went home for easter this weekend and on a whim put my style 32's on craigslist for $600. Within an hour I had some kid begging me to come buy them. I bought them for $250 and sold some beat up 32's for $600 lol.
    [IMG][/IMG]

    So the hunt for new wheels began and I got pretty lucky, some guy was selling some Style 19 wheels for $400. One had the lip polished but was apart and the rest needed to be finished. I went up and bought them and he had a sick Z3 Coupe 2.8 non sunroof car on style 5's [IMG][/IMG]

    I was in a rush because I had to meet up with Shaun Quill to give him some spacers so he could get some better fitment with his new felony form over fenders. So i dint really inspect them. When I got home I started looking over the wheels, one of the barrels is bent but holds air, I'm not sure if its going to be really off balance or not ill find out once i get the car on the road again. [IMG][/IMG]

    The bolts are in great shape but that have been spray painted, no rust and only one wheels has rash on it so I'm gonna have to file that out. Over all i think i got a steal for $400

    I was only home for 3 days so I threw the wheels on to get the car out of the shop and took some pictures.
    [IMG][/IMG]

    The plan is to polish the rest of the lips and hardware and paint the centers darker. I haven't decided on a color yet. I Plan to run 205 40's so I can get a decent stretch and some 10mm spacers in the rear maybe 15mm Let me know what you think.

    If they're the same specs as mine, they will sit super flush with no rubbing.
    Well I did some fender work with a rubber mallet and heat gun, and to turned out okay. But my rims are actually rubbing on the inside of the fender like high up.

    Also, I ran 205/40 and 215/40 with those wheels.
    Well I'm on the look out for a super charger kit but i haven't been very lucky with that. and I need to finish bending my roll bar and clean my interior up a little
    Right now with the 205/215 45's are not too bad. I just have a lot of trouble putting less than a 45 sidewall with my tire machine.
