I'm not touching that highway east of 35 until they are done with it...
Any leads on a good place to get a Volk wheel repaired?

They are on and working! I do need to go to smaller airline - all I had was 1/2'' and some vented exhaust tips that slow the air going out. Definitely going to upgrade this kit and work with it some more. Right now it's still wires everywhere and thrown in the trunk. Going to clean it up later.
Other than that only issues I have are:
(1)I think I have a tiny air leak on the front and rear valves somewhere. It holds air... sometimes? On one drive it dropped 5 psi on the front left, then a little later the right.. on the other ride, a rear bag dropped 5 psi. Do the bags need to be "broken in"?
(2)My Dakota digital gauge only reads 80psi for the tank pressure (it gets to 200psi via external shop gauge). And each bag only reads 50psi (never measured actual pressure at the bag with another gauge).
r1forever - Thanks for the tips! They helped, and even though I couldn't implement some of the things you said, I will definitely be taking your advice on all of it.
USpeedG - "Hello?" "Uhh.. yeah... are you on G35Driver?..." *long pause* "....Yeaaah.."
Lol! Dude was a ton of quick help over the phone with a lot of tips as well.
TheJanitor - for stopping by and saying whattup! And that I'm not really as big an ******* as I come off as sometimes :P (e-thuggin 4 lyfe)
It was a super long and sleepless weekend. Definitely a project that was way over my head! Never wanna do that again, lol.

Busy day today: wash, clay, glaze, wax then a little photo shoot.

If anyone wants to edit these for me, they'd would be pretty awesome!

only downfall with using either of those company it wont come out looking like your others because VOLK wheels have a special brushed/polished lip according to wheels technology when I took my SF challenges in and they said it wouldnt look the same. There process is special to what they do from the factory. They suggested me do all of them and change the color in order to have all matching wheels.

I am hoping they can roll the barrel back to straight without having to refinish the barrel itself. If so, I may just pick up a new barrel...

My options are to have a mismatched wheel, sand and chrome all barrels or try and piece out and go with a new set (don't really want to).
