Super Advans are gone
but got something new, updated in my first post on page 1

Sweet. hmmm by the center caps, I'm thinking the mesh Evolution series Volks. Also, shouldn't have spent all the time hand polishing the bolts. I picked up this guy for like $50. Threw the bolts and nuts in there for like 6 hours and they came out looking perfect: http://www.harborfreight.com/5-lb-metal-vibrator-tumbler-67617.html

Looking good love the new wheel's 2pc right? What are you lowered on?

Edit: Just read first post

 

[Shi-Fu JaY]

Circuit the wheels are Volk Racing GTP-A lol. I soaked the bolts in vinegar which cleaned the bolts up really nice, but it still had some oxidation. I wanted a truly polished bling so thats why I went on an polished them with Mothers mag and alum. polish. I did the lips too. now I just need to get the face redone in white, and clean up the red ring that goes around the face.

Sexy! What are the specs?

 

[Shi-Fu JaY]

Thanks guys, I know they are gonna be a pain to take care of lol.
the specs are 17x7 29 offset, and 17x8 33 offset and 205-40-17 tires all around.

and I just finished sanding down the groves on the center caps, dont know what the previous owner was doing with it, but looked like it was a chew toy for some sort of wilder-beast.
after the sanding, I polished it.

Love the new setup look's dope! You gonna end up polishing the whole cap?

I was planning to fully polish the caps, but got super lazy, so I just sanded down all the groves and pits, the polished just the face

 

[JDMJNKY]

The caps flow with the rest of the wheel, my lip is polished on the outside, on the innerside of the lip its still brushed. I polished the caps face becuase there was deep groves on it, so I sanded it down, and polished it. How are your wheels comming along?

Installed this for show purpose, and for heavy rain lol

 

[funkalicious21]

it looks kinda like the RX-8 light, but this one has straight edges, and a somewhat flat bottom.
