^If you do, just make sure you don't get red lugs that fade to pink

My tires are going to be this stretched. I'm apprehensive to going with the wheels now.

naw, that stretch will look good. I would stick with black close ended lugs. Rays or I have black 35mm kics leggduras I would sell.

Thanks! I'm thinking about making some housings with something similar to this since I understand it now and selling them, but I dont know if people would be willing to buy it.

I think you could make amber or orange and be 100% legal, I think it would work and people would feel comfortable buying them

Did you finish buffing out your wetsanding marks? If you need some paint advice feel free to hit me up, I just painted my subie a 3 stage paint, (GFM, Glacier Frost Mica).

Not even close. but.....

Old paint..... new look for new year.... probably will take me a couple months of sanding and repainting low spots, but should be pretty glossy wet when the project is complete.

Just tried buffing part of one of the fenders to see if my theory was right on being able to go from 2kmatte to full gloss. All the google work paid off

My car is matte black. If you break down the paint and sand it ( 800,1500,2000 grit) the surface will change to a gloss. Thus giving you an extremely smooth gloss ( piano black ) which I'm debating doing so I tested my theory on a fender

pretty much the same. Just piano black was term used more for furniture I believe. Its just a paint with ZERO orange peel because you sand it to gloss.
