Dem wheels <3

 

[speedracr79]

Wheels should be here mon or tue. Also just bought a 3pc craftsman tool box set. I know someone who will be happy i got that i dont want to mention any names like AzteCypher..lol So its gonna make it easier to find my tools to help make the build go faster. Its a PITA looking for my tools all over the garage. I pick them up tomorrow after work.

Love those wheels man, can't wait to seem 'em mounted!

 

[speedracr79]

Me too they are gonna be sick. I probably wont get them mounted till the car is ready though but it should be within the next couple of months though hopefully sooner.

Tools located in one location you say?! I need to see this for myself. How about this Saturday say 8-12 so we can get some wire tucking done.

 

[speedracr79]

That would be awesome man yeah im game and here you go for your viewing pleasure....

im gonna go through my garage this week and get all my tools in order so they are ready for you this weekend...hows that sound? Just checked the tracking of my rims and they will be delivered today.

badass!

 

[speedracr79]

Well i was all exited i got my rims yesterday i left work early to get them so they wouldnt be on my porch for to long. Open the box and no Rota Grids 17X7.5 4X100.
Instead i got these a brand spanking new set of Rota DPT's 18X9.5 5X100/114.

So now i have a set of some sexy ass rims that i cant use so im probably gonna send them back and see if i can get the ones i paid for and maybe a deal on a set of the DPt's in a 17X7.5 for my subie.

Right now theres some really pissed off dude with a set of Rota Grid's

 

[RicoP5]

damn that sucks. but dang i like those!

whats off set?

 

[speedracr79]

Not sure only numbers are these 5x100x114.3/e22/73

 

[RicoP5]

ah i see

 

[speedracr79]

Well looks like im just gonna get my rims after all there was a mix up and they sent mine to someone else so were each getting shipping labels and shipping them to each other. So i should have my grids next week.

 

[speedracr79]

[PROTEGEBORI00]

Sick rims!!! I looking for the same style but five spike!

 

[repthemazdas]

[RicoP5]

nice

 

[speedracr79]

i am imagining a sexy valve cover...

Well your exactly right it is sexy...

Didnt like the mazda alone so i sat here this morning and hand sanded the dohc 16-valve very carfully

Andd heres the almost finished product. Its not perfect and has its imperfections but you have to look for them, and its not to bad for my first time, if i do say so my self. Im gonna clear it tonight then itll be done.
