That makes it much simpler. Maybe one of these days I'll fork over the money for some high end wheels. My priority at the moment is getting a lift in the garage......

Carry on good sir carry on

Looks great! What did you use to lightly tint them?

Also where did you get your exports? I have had mine forever and one of them is now getting water inside

those are outrageous. In a good way. However, the "old" tires don't even look used. Drive this monster. I think we deserve a burn out video of the "old" tires just cause. Merca!

Lmao, no burn outs...trying to sell them. Old tires have about 4 or 500mi on them. Ran the car last weekend around town. Have a good vid in the gloriousness of what 630+ at the tire does in the first couple gears

Btw, scj, car came out nice man

I was trying to give you a run for your money, still think you got me beat though. Mines still not 100%, but it seems like they never are. It's at least running and driving, which was the biggest milestone.

Link to said vid ftw.

Going to keep the old hardware...not torque to yield so I'm not worried. Fikse doesnt suggest replacing either.
