your wheels will be doing double duty so it makes sense to use the best setup for both.

for me (2 sets of wheels) no reason to go 9" for the street.

Yep, that's why I'm going with 8" for the street. If they had to pull double duty I'd definitely go with 9" wide wheels though.

Nope, no pics yet, will get some in a couple weeks (when the car is officially done) they actually cut the lip off.

but looks and feels ok so far.

Yep, i'm to poor for 2 sets of wheels

I guess they just touched up or something, they said they had to use some paint. I'm going to look more tonight, but no bare metal, and completely smooth......

**T3h_Clap** · 07-19-2006, 07:43 AM

hmm tempting, i may have to do that.

too bad body shops are still packed from last years hurricane!

**dailydriversti** · 07-19-2006, 08:28 AM

hell...you could probably do it with a dremel and a metal cut off wheel, and then dab some touch up paint on it. (i think thats what they did basically)

**T3h_Clap** · 07-19-2006, 08:30 AM

true, did they remove any of the plastic "wide body"

piece?

nope, they were going to, but i guess decided not to once they started.

**T3h_Clap** · 07-19-2006, 08:36 AM

<---still trying to track down a set of these wheels...

nope, not yet that i know of, i have to do some tests, it wasn't rubbing that bad (i couldn't hear it, but could tell as my tires are getting sliced up)

The wheels have been shipped... soon I'll have a pretty set of wheels sitting next to my pretty set of tires, which will later be joined by some pimp-ass '05 wheel bearings with front hubs..... and eventually, just maybe I'll pick a suspension to complete the parts collection.

My small apartment is about to look like a parts store.

That'd be the one.

The only specialty part in the kit is an adapter that allows you to use '04 axles in the '05 hubs though.
