I take very good care of my ****.

not as easy as said when dealing with automotive paint.
I'm still very new to this.
I have a friend teaching me.
I've made many mistakes to learn from of course over the past year...

Long story short Do-luck for some reason have not imported the kit for about a year so I paid 500. over retail for a brand new kit...

i could imagine the wheels off balanced by removing the center disc... however if you haven't felt anything in particular, perhaps i should do the same route, because i want to paint or powdercoat my wheels as well.
thanks for the info!
