Justin R32 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Finally finished the pegs! Got an awesome deal on some brand new Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position 225/45/17's ($420 mounted)Wheels were finished with Duplicolor charcoal and duplicolor clear.Wheels will go on the White S70T5M once the rear iPd sway and the iPd springs go on....Can't wait!The pictures make the wheels seem slightly lighter than they do in person. Plus the pics were taken at dust with no flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKW Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 They look great. I want a set for my yellow one so I can put the Volans back on the white one. I know you still have two more pegs sitting there, and I know where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 the duplicolor charcoal is very misleading in photo's....hell even in person until you get them mounted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistFull Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 They look good.....pics when mounted?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin R32 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 They look good.....pics when mounted?...Yep...but they won't be mounted untill the rear sway and iPd springs go on because I need an alignment BAD, and I'm going to wait until then.It's going to be hard to wait though.

There's nothing worse then having new/redone parts laying waiting to go on......I think there's a support group if you need to help copping with the time :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them turn out 100 different ways depending on the conditions.Yes, but the wheel is tilted towards the setting sun in these pics. Trust me. I put them upright next to the car and they look 10 times darker.As for the glossyness, I tried to keep it around medium. 2 light coats of clear, then 1 wet coat and that was it. I've seen several pics of you car and my wheels look very close to the same color. Smaller of course, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
