Futuras have always been one of my favorite wheels. Awesome work love your R.

Watching this!! Looks really great man!

Thanks guys. I'll be assembling everything this weekend. I put together a dry test fit last night. There's still a little tweaking that has to happen, but it's coming along nicely.

Let's see those RFs!!! How does the Clear powder look in person?

RF's aren't mine. These are pictures from Spinfab. Everything is supposed to arrive today so I'll let you know how the clear looks in person.

So unfortunately my IDF Rear Control Arms aren't going to come in on time so I had to reschedule my shop time to get the car ready for the season. I was trying to be ready for our first meet of the season at a local get together I run called Live Low Or Die, but it's going to have to wait...

My new Futura centers and barrels are in the mail and should be here by Wednesday, so I'm getting excited to get these together. I also bought Air Lift Performance Rear Shocks so I can have a shorter stroke and not max out my height sensors for the E-level anymore. I'll also be able to set up an air out height too so my fenders don't hit my lips when I'm at 0psi.

These are mirror polished with a clear powder coat and black lettering. I'm so excited to get these back together and on the car.







...and some motivation:

Excellent work on the wheels

I finally found some time to start working on the new wheel build. I shipped my 6.5" barrels out to Spinfab to exchange them for 7.5" barrels. Once the barrels get powder coated, I can finally get the new centers and barrels shipped to me. Also, I have brand new 215/40-18 Nitto Neogens sitting in my workspace waiting to get put on these Futura's. They're getting impatient and so am I... :



Tumbled my nuts/bolts clean.



I wet sanded the lips with 3200 and polished the lips by hand twice.

Nice car, wheel choice is spot on. I think alot about form and function and visa versa.

I saw something, somewhere, that said... All race cars can be show cars, but all show cars can't be race cars. With that in mind, I'm building my car more towards function lol.

Solid mindset.

car looks sick man!! i'm from the seacoast as well and seeing someone with a car as clean as yours around just makes me want to work on mine. Cant wait to hopefully see it in person soon.

PS Love the color

Thanks man. If you're local then you should check out the Live Low Or Die group that my buddy and I run over in Rochester. It's a weekly get together that is on break for the winter now, but we'll start back up in the beginning of April.

I went back and edited some photos from the end of the season. I need to go back and spend some serious time there next year.





Working on some slight wheel changes for next year. Hopefully everything goes as planned.
