I called yesterday to see what is up, did not get a call back so I am driving by today to see whats up in person...

How can you tell what face goes w/ what wheel to make sure they get it right? I don't have a BBK so I am thinking they should clear but I do have a 14" Rotora BBK on order and would like to make sure they are on right so I don't have to "F" w/ it once the BBK comes in.

Thanks!

I will weigh them again after I get them back to see how much weight the chrome added.

Rear: 55lbs



Front: 49lbs



I will take pics on the same scale before I re-install them.
ah hem.....

LOL,

I have not forgoten to weigh them ... I will bring that scale to the shop on Monday and get some pics of them on the scale... I do not think that it added much weight at all actually... They still seemed very light when I picked them up...

I have the wheel on the rear just as a test fit for the picture, I wanted to see what it looked like

I am waiting on pricing so I can share with you all... I had a partial sponsorship on these and am un-able to share my cost...

As soon as I have more info I will pass it along... I can't wait to get all this work done and get a good photo shoot to show ya'll...

Thanks Triji, you give hope to people with fading clear coats on their lips; not just living with it or polishing as a last resort.

Do yourself a favor and do me a favor.
You: Get some damn wheel locks are you insane running around with regular lugs on that car with those wheels, very small investment for a very big investment.

Me: Give me a ballpark of how much that costs b/c I forgot how FUKIN AWESOME a highly polished or in your case chrome lip looks.
