Swissvax Opaque DDDDD
but ouch there, put some putty and wrap it again LOL
where you guys buying your wraps? interested in wrapping but I probably would have a lot of trouble wrapping my GLK cuz of it being so damn tall and I'd have to switch my whole line of detailing products to vinyl ones QQ

i couldnt believe someone actually did something to complicated and unsafe when there was a much easier and safer way to do it | This topic has been beaten to death and then some on other forums so I will just give a quick recap:
- the wheels are forged and they are rated for way more than the weight of the car.
- the amount of metal left on the wheel is still more than other (even cast) wheels
- if you take a look at lots of different Ray's wheels, they machine them to suit offsets/width so even two different TE37's from factory will have diferent spoke thickness depending on width/offset - I looked at a few and took measurements.
- the offset is basically maxxed out for NSX - it's not the same as other cars - you cant go crazy on them - no way even 5mm would work in rear - or front without rubbing/damage - the liners are already rubbed from trying that.
- this is done on many race cars, this is not the first time people have done it
- these wheels will never see the track, they are for street
- personally I like the controversy - how many others would machine their Volks?
Thanks for sticking up for the car in your other posts. |

Your car looked great alittle rough around the edges, but thats to be expected when you're running freakin 12.5"rears with only a few mm of fender gap

My pics will be up soon, not too great just a normal lumix camera.
First off, G-spec my gf would not stop talking about your car after seeing it. She's inlove with it.
Also, I feel bad I didn't have any change on me to donate, are you guys still accepting donations? I was told if i donated, i would get warmer lol.
Also spotted rcubed's sti in front of nandos on kingsway after the meet.

I don't mind though, Kangs were fckin boss, loud yes but took a helluva beating, all the way from here to Montreal actually ridin low pro no issues! | Quote:

My coilovers are set to full stiff with spring rates of 14k front and 12k rear, I doubt I would even feel the tires lol
If I wasn't stretching I would have gone with the Toyo T1R's, or Hankook V12's two pretty good comfy performance oriented tires. |

So let's agree to disagree, and that's fine because two car enthusiasts can do that maturely... now let me tell you something, the black NSX was revving it towards the end of the meet around 2pm and I told my buddy right away best sounding NSX's are boosted NSX's.... would have been sweet to hear your car revving instead
shit this setup is bananas, is it glow in the dark paint ???
