Looks great Mike. IF you have rubbing, listen if its in the front or rear. If its rear, easy fix, we'll just go some dremeling next time you're up...which I'll be doing before we leave for NC as well.

Z front, coupe rear.



Put the clear corners on today as well. Next step is new tires, these ones don't have very much life left in them but they'll work for a while.

Gotcha, I'm just curious because I'll be buying tires in about a month as well. Pretty certain I'm going to end up with V12's at this point..


Took a video under load on the Iphone unfortunately. Didn't have my digital camera with me but still get the idea.

I know I'm rubbing lol, cuz I wiped some rubber off the outside of my rear fender between Zumbrota and Rochester.... Around Pine Island the roads get crazy uneven and bouncy so I know it was there, plus when I stopped in Zumbrota I didn't see any residue, but I could see some circular marks on my tire where it looks like my fender made contact with it I shouldn't have softened up the rear yesterday. I will be up there sooner than later Lance. My locking lug nut is up there, my dampener adjustment and keys to my coils are up there at your place. I can't do **** without it

Looking at that video is depressing me. I do not want to go back to that town...

Well I decided to put the 18's on today but only got halfway done so I drove around like this for a quick bit today. People at my work didn't even realize I had to sets of wheels on my car



18's don't look like any bigger than those 17's for some reason.

Then on the way home I decided the stocks looked like crap and decided to pick up some paint



Hopefully I will have them on the car in the next couple of days...

Are you just repainting them silver?

The alleyway looks terrible. I DONT WANNA GO BACK!!!!

The alley way is better than it has been, it's just muddy now. Which still sucks tremendously.

But no, notice the color difference lol. It's technically graphite. It looks ok in the garage haha. I believe it is a little lighter than a matte graphite would be so I will get to see a similarly colored wheel on my car now I hope. Except a little lighter of course.

Didn't know if that was just a primer or something. I knew you were going to fix up the wheel's rash a bit.

Interested to see how it looks. I want my 18s back on.

Meh I should have spent a little more time prepping them but meh. They look ok except for a couple places...

Andrew, just make sure you pick/set the wheel up when you're painting it. With rattle cans, they aren't meant to be sprayed pointing downward. You'll end up getting a weird blend as well as clumps.

I would also put a bag over the tire to avoid overspray. Hope this helps...

i like the deck of cards protective shield you've created.

Hoagie

I agree with Emad's comment... the cards are a very creative idea to shield the tires.

Whoops. I definitely painted them like they are sitting... I don't think they turned out too bad. Definitely better than they looked before. I definitely sprayed it a little thick in some places and ended up with like 2 drip spots.

Next time I will spray them better. Or if they look bad in the sun I'll re-do them.

That was originally Janiks idea.
