Yeah that was julio from kyoei. His car is sick. 22kg was the highest that pbm offered so I went with that. They are valved correctly for the higher rates so they should ride awesome. But I wont know yet til I get them installed. Might take awhile since I have to take measurements for the cups as well while the coils are off the car

Okay finally got the wheels back from wheelflip. The specs ended up being a bit more aggressive than what I was quoted. So we sent it out to get the back pad shaved down 6-7mm. But still needed some pulling to fit. Tried to get it to work but the fender still barely sat on top of the tire. I was going to bodywork it in the next month or two so I figured I might as well bring it in early and get these wheels to fit

Never took any of my cars to get any fender work done before, so this is all new territory for me. Any ideas on how I should do the fenders? They are really wavy right now from the pull, but not too noticeable from far


Heres some quick pics I snapped at the bodyshop

Dude those wheels are hard as some type of hard object. **** looks uber dope man. I wish there was another set around with the step lip but a lil milder on the agressive side. Nonetheless hands down dopest dope.

Same finish? You just let me know the price, then give me a liitle while to gather the funds, then hold them for me until said funds are acquired, then ill trade the cash for the wheels. Deal?
