It was easy. The hard part is prep. I used a pneumatic grinder with a wire wheel to cut all the oxides and burrs. The painting is easy. I used the G2 kit and about 3 coats. After it cured, I sprayed it with high temp clear to give it some gloss.

When I got home and noticed the H caps missing, I got on the phone. The dealer said the installer had them in his pocket and would leave them for me.
I was glad they did not vanish since they were a Christmas gift from my son.

it'll look better if it had a couple more inches to it, but it's still nice. is the new set smaller? stock sets are just as good but i'd prfer black 18" rota rims with chrome lip

Pablo · 02-18-2008, 11:11 AM

Nice wheels BG. I was a thinkin' of gettin' some "gun metal" colored wheels for Baby. First I have to refill the coffers after blowin' the bucks on the HKS exhaust. If you don't mind me asking who makes yours?

hammerhead300 · 02-18-2008, 11:26 AM

They look good on there! I tend to prefer more wheel/less tire, but I do like the gunmetals.

Let me know if you're interested in selling the stock wheels/tires, because I'd definitely be interested in updating the stockers I have on my AP1 if the price is right.

EDIT: Those are the 17-inchers, right?

I have someone who says he is going to buy them. I haven't heard from him in a couple of days. So............

Yes 17 inch.

Done. How's that?

Pablo · 02-18-2008, 04:01 PM

BG I was admiring your new wheels again and I noticed in the photo that blue stuff you have over the headlights. Some sort of film I think. I was wondering what it is and where you got it.

I sure hope you are a believer in the old adage, "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery"
