just a random Q. Do these have any potential?
D swap + gas will run 12s w/ a trap for mid 11s (traction limited). The B swaps are available as well.

And what's this? Looks like the guys at Wheel Wizard took this:

The pics look glossy b/c of the flash - but they are actually flat-black powder coat.
Stay tuned for the pics mounted on the car. :)
wheels look good man
I wouldn't have painted them.
booooooo !
My hatch will be 2-stage flat black - there won't even be a chrome antenna or door handle or trim piece - ENTIRE car will be flat - and nothing will shine on it PERIOD. It will tie in w/ the theme quite nicely. ;)
I saw this car in person today...totally a SICK car.
He's done a great job with it! :goodjob:
^^ A work in progress - but thank you.

Just plain hideous.
I dig it. I like the headlights.
Nice.
All in all I am happy. I am gonna run 175s instead of 185s in front. This way it will tuck better when I toss on my modified EF suspension. Also, I measured the inside of the cone (area where center cap connects) and I am gonna have Wheel Wizard cut that down, and weld a simple dome-topped cap - (I had to mount the wheels to see how much area to cut b/c of the hub) there as I am not a fan of the center cap. I also found the 1 company on the planet that makes Mag-Style (sheath) lugs in a 1.25 and in BLACK!!!! So they are on order as well. Then I will have the wheels re-powder-coated after the custom cap is welded on and smoothed. This time, I will also have the spokes smoothed a bit b4 the powder-coat.

Also - I got the paint in from Alsa. I am going w/ their 2 stage flat (and a flat clear for paint protection). IMO it's the hottest flat-black on the market right now - and will NOT look like a rattle-can job. Here is an example, but I have better pics somewhere:

7) interior
8) drink beer
^^ Okay I lied... I drink beer during all the steps.
who's the nigra?
Cool car, good thread. If you know about Alsa corps flat black then enough said. Awesome paint! It's actually harder to do than glossy clear over black. No chance to buff out dust or moths. lol. I'm feeling the stealth look on the car, can't wait to see it done. Definately unique!
sigh. epic fail on the suggestion of rotas... sigh
that being said BABY J ON THE TRAK! ~i like the way rock them hips~ oops sorry, but yeah straight pimpin man! love the new HL and drop! can't wait to see whats next homie!
i want that car.. it just screams CLASS! lol. but no really i do want it
