Here’s part of what took so darn long. These wheels probably have close to 20 man-hours per wheel, including disassembly, clean-up, assembly prep, assembly, and retorquing. Not including the cost of professional paint stripping and powder-coating. Yeah, these wheels have probably cost about $2500 for the set- used… and they’re just 16 inchers…
Specs are 16x7+24 front with 205/50s; 16x8+11 rear with 225/50s. Needed a roll and slight pull in the rear.
I may at some point rebuild the fronts with a .5” wider lip, but for now, I’m done. I'm actually a bit disappointed with the color- its right in the middle of what I think would look awesome- a little darker for an almost anthracite, or a little lighter for more silver. But its growing on me now that I've got them on the car with the caps on.
Yes, the exhaust looks a bit ridiculous, especially since its partially painted red due to the paint guys forgetting to mask... I'll be looking at replacing the entire exhaust with a BRM and custom header next winter probably. Or maybe I'll do a custom side exit...
I still have lots of plans, but first I need to get my interior completed. I'll add some pics of that soon.
