Lugnuts are on, plugs tonight or this weekend although heading camping his weekend through mid week next week so may be next weekend.
Got my Track rims now as well:
Now tell me this shit ain't funny...
I looked for one of 3 different rims for my car (Rota 3 different styles, BBS RK, and MB Battles), none popped up when i had the cash and bought the RK's a few months back to refinish. Well from selling my stock rims I had not deposited the money yet and now I have two full sets the BBS RK's in Copper, and now Rota SDX in Gold...
Rota SDX in 17x7.5 size weigh in at 16.2 lbs and have new tires - I won't say what I paid as eventually I may resell them, but it was enough that I'm kicking myself for puttin this much work in the BBS's.
So will be mounting these up - taking the 18" BBS off and redoing them ONE at at time with Blasting so that when they are repainted this time, they will be perfect and won't be rushed. When that is done, I will have the BBS as my daily rims with the new tires I just put on, and the 17" rotas will get some 200 series rubber on them for Autocross and road course work So expect the Rota's to go on sometime next week, the one down size is they have a 215/45/17 tire on them which knocks my rpms down a bit so I'll be over 3k running 79 mph which may make me take a hit on mpg - so I may just start driving slower in the interest of MPG till I get the BBS back on.
FYI, these Rota's will probably end up with a 245/45 or a 255/40 when I put track tires on them
