Default New wheels and calipers and seat backs painted

So I’m on Rennlist a couple of weeks before Christmas and I see that Nick (Nurburger) has these Kinesis Supercups for sale. I’ve always loved those wheels. Talked to Kinesis about them not long before they went out of business.
I jumped out of my chair to tell my wife about these a set of wheels I've wanted for a long time were all of a sudden available. I interpreted her sneer and lack of enthusiasm as approval to proceed. Sent Nick a PM and told him I wanted them. I missed out on those beautiful speedlines he had for awhile but the time wasn’t right for me then. But these will do. Nick did an incredible job of painting the centers before he sent them (as a seller, Nick put a lot of time into beauityfing and prepping these wheels befoe the sale)-what a guy. The wheels were in impeccable condition when they arrived.
Got my seatbacks and calipers painted. I was lazy and let my body guy do them. But lazy is one of my strong points these days. Red calipers and painted seat backs have been on my to do list for a long time. Just never did 'em. Seat pics suck. Sorrry. Kind of get the idea, I guess. Thye do look good and would show if I was a better photographerl
When I opened the box on the first wheel, it was obvious that these wheels required red caliperes and provrastinaton ws no longer acceptable in my opinion.

Clear corners on the signals sure would compliment your setup

Brilliant. If I were to spec my car today it would look exactly like that.

Those wheels look great. With those wheels, you now need the RS splitters and sideskirt!!!

Chuck,
The car looks great.
Just a thought, what is the offset of the rear wheels? It looks like you could use a 5 mm spacer to better fill the fender wells.

Quack! Very nice, yes the rears could use spacers. Hope you have a good collection of old toothbrushes!
