I am with all the guys about the ss10 spokes.... How much do you charge to blend and smooth it all down like you did yours? Plus powdercoating them?

Looks great! What kind of filler is that and will it handle the loads of daily driving?

JB Weld is what you can use as a filler and still get items powder coated. As far as being able to take the load of driving I'm confident. The shop that did them has experience in widening wheels so I don't doubt their capability of holding up. Luckily I don't daily drive the formula and currently have black FM5's on the car so these will be thrown on when I take a cruise.

Saw them when you first got them back. They look alot better once you cleaned them up and coated them! You can go ahead and hand over the fm5's to me

The FM5's are holding up well. They're gonna go over to the darkside once I have these speedlines mounted on the car. I'm gonna go with the same semi gloss black as the speedlines or flat black, I haven't made up my mind.
