You can use silicone sealer from Home Depot. It is very important that you do a good job when reapplying the silicone to ensure a good seal.

I can t wait to see the VIP vert.

The silicone that is on there now was put on very well. I'll stop by HD tomorrow an look around. I'm still waiting on a five lug swap to get these janks on the car. I also cant wait. Suspension and paint are next on the to do list. Your car holds the bar right now very high.

HAHAA..... I bought them outta straight inpulse. Called RB up and grab them. I paid alittle more b/c of shipping, but still a great deal. I will send them to powder coating and maybe have the lips redone.

When they got here my wife said "You payed $$$$$ how much for those wheels".....lol

everyone likes pic so here are more.

Obvious choice

I have a drift event this weekend, so the tire mounted on right now are drift whores. Actually they aren't even fully mounted.

Those are gonna be real nice on the car, I'm kicking myself a little harder for passing them up....but my wife woulda said the same thing...perhaps with a tad of irritation...but just tad . The other set they had that was pretty much the same went real quick, but they looked to be without need of any paint/pcoating.

Oh, and please, if a time comes when you may need or want to get rid of them..let me get first dibs....please....pretty please .

Again, can't wait to see them mounted, post some nice pics when done
