how long were you without a car for?
|
looks awesome. Should of put on some 20mm spacers on it when you had the wheels off
|
Thanks guys!
I dropped it off Monday afternoon and didn't get to pick it up till Thursday Afternoon. So 3 days total. I still have to wait a couple of days before I can get the center caps back, they're saying mid next week since they're backed up. I'll try to post some pictures then. Hey Lakeshow, "unfortunately there's no code for this as I asked the shop. It's a 3 stage paint job. They start of painting the wheel all black and then paint a coat Hyper Silver just like what the factory does with the Sports Rays. The only difference is that they only applied a mist of Hyper Silver, leaving it darker even compared to the 40th anniversary edition. Then after that, clear coat. I asked for the code of the Hypersilver or black paint they use, they said they don't have a code for that - which I find B.S. Anyway, I guess i'll be going back to them to do it. For something like this they would have to match it anyways as it's really varies each time." I had them done at Wheel Techniques in case you're ever here in Nor Cal. |

I have 20mm all around. I did it more for aesthetics than performance, but it does give you a slightly wider stance. I'm not dropped, though.

gotcha, thanks i defintely will do some research and put some on.
The shop's like, now I gotta paint the door handles and lug nuts. My gf is like, your calipers need to be red now. What should I do next? It seems that Mike the Powdercoater strongly advise to NOT powdercoat calipers b/c I track. Anyone had bad experience with tracking on powdercoated calipers? The shop I powdercoated my wheels said they did both powdercoating and paint (not hi-temp) wheels over the last 22 years with no problem. That doesn't mean those guys track at all. What about our OEM Akebono 40th Anniversary Calipers? Are they painted or powdercoated? If they're painted, I wonder if they're Hi-Temp Painted...I would like to have someone like Mike to replicate that for me. (Not neccessary the color but the same process) as we know that works okay. |
15mm front and 20mm rear. H&R Trak DRS wheel spacers.
