I was just reading your thread, i had solid mounts on my b13 Sentra so I should be fine. I plan to track the car might as well start buying parts for Preventative maintenance.... but yeah let’s just say I didn’t pay 750 for mine

Man, I've only driven the G twice in the last 2 weeks because of construction on my street, so I was psyched to take it to work today.
to get out of my garage, I have to back it up a little then steer around the door. As soon as I did that, I hit something...WTH.. got out to see what it was and I heard a loud hissing noise, punctured tire? No. It was a can of silver spray paint that had fallen off a shelf and was now spraying out the side of the can!!!!! As fast as I've ever moved, I got the G out into the driveway and threw the can out in the yard. It looked like it mostly got the bottom and side of my tire. So I thoroughly doused the tire and rim with brake parts cleaner and wiped it down. It looked like I got it all but, I couldn't get the vision of excess paint splattering around. So I left it right in the middle of the driveway for any leftover paint that I couldn't see, to dry. Took the rust bucket to work. Sigh, maybe tomorrow.

Just pulled the trigger on some new wheels. 20" Vossen VFS1 staggered, brand new/open box set. You guys will never guess the price on them... there was no way I could say no.

$200/ea is a fantastic value. I paid $437/ea for my Vossens nearly four years ago now.
Those are going to look great. Wax them before they go on the car, and just accept that cleaning that deep lip is going to be a knuckle-buster.

Yep, basically getting 75% off MSRP with these which is insane considering they are hardly ever that cheap. They will be daily driven, and at some point I am just going to stop caring about how much dirt they accumulate lol. With my current set of wheels I think I only actually properly cleaned them twice in the year that I've had them lol

On most wheels, sure, it's almost impossible and/or not immediately noticeable anyway. For example, the inner barrel of my duckfeet look like pooh. But on these deep-lip Vossens, you have to clean the inner barrel, because it's so visible by design.
That's why I said those 10-spoke Vossens are knuckle busters, and you should keep them waxed. However, the93owner doesn't seem to care, and that's how he rolls with wheels. To each his own, I suppose.
