Is that a color match? Looks good

How much did the powdercoat cost if you don't mind telling?

I just may have to try that here with my small powdercoat setup. I hve plenty of steelies.

Saddlescore jsut dont over torque them and screwup that nice powdercoat, it call crack and peel, I wonder how it will hold up to brake dust?

from what info I've gathered, the key to not having them peel/crack is to do a complete media blasting to remove all factory paint & a good rinse/wipe down to remove any remaining residue. then pay close attention to the bake temperatures & time's.

brake dust residue should just wash off.

Damn! That's a lot of TV in the back of the box. I'm actually surprised it fit.

The wheels look good, and are probably a more practical wheel than any of the rest of us have.

(Glad I finally got to meet you the other day!)

I'm hoping we do that again this summer - long drive for a pizza, but that was one fun day! (I live a LOT closer than you - I only drove 277 miles R/T for pizza.)

Have you seen the pics from that yet?

I especially like the pic of Dugzilla.

I'm not impressed by that TV pic until it's custom mounted into your car and has a video game system hooked up to it..... lol
