Most pimp wheels since sliced bread?

I think so With a hardcore idea and some customization, I now have the ONLY set of CF'd Mesh style wheels I have EVER known to exist........ (if you know otherwise, please enlighten me)

Wheels started as Kyowa KR628 18x9's (all around) with a 3" lip. These are for my Tib BTW....




Started as these.....










And the unveiling

That's great idea, I should do that to my lip,
which is all messed up by snow & salt!

Spokes are too hard to do.

They were painted to blend everything in.....it was too difficult to break the weave easily on such a small area without distorting some of it.

Yeah....most people laughed at me when I asked if they could do a set of mesh wheels for me.....Finally found someone confident enough though


And another fortunate thing....I will be in Hawaii for the next 3 years or so....no worries of salt or snow there

Tell us more about the dual S/C, I assume you are putting them in parallell
for 07 dual intake?

I hope it's not like batteries, when you put dual batteries side by side in parallall,
1.5V+1.5V=1.5V. Same thing with air, two tubes in parallel, 7psi+7PSi is still 7 PSI & if one line is stronger, it'll some where in between, i.e. 7Psi+8PSI in parallal, the output will be between 7 & 8 PSI.

How does your dual S/C work?

Nope.......I am running a Vortech blower into a Roots blower.....two completely different setups supporting each other. I'll get benifits at both high and low RPM's this way....The biggest loss I am going to get is from the crank having to turn both, but I think that will be ok

And this isn't the G.....the G is gone (until I get another one). This is for my Tiburon.......
