Wheels..check

They’re going to look awesome…… but I’m kinda surprised you didn’t dismount the tires first.

The chance of gouges while mounting tires is high, even for the best tire guys.

I did. This is round 2. But I’m still not 100% on this grey. Ive been going back and forth on grey or plasma so Im just going to go with this for now and see how I like the look. But I can get just as clean a job with tires on as without. All about the prep and taping

Exactly right. Just takes one slip and its over

I think the gray is fine... It just doesn't have the same depth as the rest of the car. More flakes? More candy? I dunno. You're the expert but when you see it...

It's almost a chromium gunmetal... Color is def not the issue. It's pretty hot.

need to go carbon fiber on the wheels!

You might be right

 

[bird_dog0347]

The color is great, but your traction will suck with all that paper over the tread!

 

[95steedamustang]

need to go carbon fiber on the wheels!

I’ve thought about it.

Looks good to me. Any darker and you lose the detail of the wheel.

My condolences: those two cars were MINT! Best of luck with your new build!

 

[bird_dog0347]

It is a crying shame BFG doesn't make that tire anymore if for no other reason than the tread design. Are you planning to replace the rears due to the dry rot or can you magically fix that too? (wouldn't surprise me at all)

*cough* Raised white lettering would be badass
