And yeah, it probably will crack your paint. I think that's an inherent risk with fender rolling, but if it's done right (i.e. on a hot day, or by using a heat gun) and if the rolling is done gradually, the paint should be relieved enough to minimize cracking and prevent the paint from flaking off or anything. I had the fenders rolled on my previous car and I could see some light spider-webbing in the paint on the rolled portion, but it never flaked off and never progressed. I am hoping for the same result on the Z.

so is my camber. becuse of the rear GT Spec brace, it "locks" the ars so i cant adjust my camber...but now its always in race mode
Always have to snap some pics of the fresh wheels before I subject them to road debris and weather and whatnot. Photography owns me but you get the idea, they are fresh and clean : )
EDIT: Anyone happen to know the center bore of these wheels? I need to buy some hub rings before I can mount these. Thanks!

Yeah I know I want red, but I don't want to spend over $50 because IMO it's getting ridiculous. Maybe I'll give Muteki a try.
EDIT: Blueper4mancez, what is the center bore of these LE28's??? I need to buy hub rings but I don't know which size to buy! (I know it's 66.1mm ID, I need to know the OD)

So my local tire shop doesn't carry hub rings because they don't commonly get people asking for them, and I need to get them myself so I'm back to square one. Anyone know the center bore on these LE28 / CE28's??????
