Im pretty sure he used the roller we have. You just have to put more angle and pressure on the lip after rolling it flat. The hardest part is probly getting the flare even on both sides. The spot where it starts to flare and where it ends so it looks even when looking from front or back. Good job jake. I thk im gonna have to do mine when i get my new wheels

you know whats up steven...that was the hardest part...I had to go back and forth looking at both sides making sure i didnt over do it on one side vs the other... you wont need much flare man...
I did use my roller and the heat gun religiously..

Steven - Im ordering my wheels today boss...when I get them in - I want to bring them straight to you sir to get my paint done..

took so long cause:

-I was doing it by myself
-I had to remove suspension from my car
-I had to remove suspension from my friends car
-I had to install the Teins on my car
-I had to install my old ones on friends car
-I had to install a camber arm on friends car
-I had to try to set toe back to where I thought it was before
-My lug nuts were stuck, had to wait for car to cool down before they would budge
-It was hot
-waterbreaks
-had to cut to bolt holes with rotozip without a snake extension... couldnt get that bigass thing in there right with the exhaust in the way
-had to clean myself off because I was rolling around in sharp metal shavings (still getting these out of my arms
-had to sweep up garage under cars because I was tired of rolling around in said metal shavings
-friend stopped by to check it out
-had to enlarge holes in the back for edfc wires to run through
-had to fish said edfc wires through those holes
-had to look up torque specs for each bolt since I didn't have them memorized
-had to torque bolts on 2 cars
-had to organize tools and load them into my car
-had to btch about it on the forums...
-just realized I cant add.. I worked 9 to 4 thats actually 7 hours.


plus I don't to swaps everyday, still methodical about my installs. like to take my time because I realize if I miss one bolt I'm fcked when I'm taking a turn on the highway overpass at high speeds.
