(315/30/18) would be my next size but with the wheel configuration I'm running I'd get quite a bit of rubbing.

Centers are currently off at the powder-coaters and I'm supposed to be getting the lips and inner barrels this Friday.

I'll just leave this here for now...
Thanks Fabspeed!

(Still waiting for the bodyshop to get the sunroof panel/ bumpers and my wing painted)...
And the brake calipers.

I also need to have them reshoot the hood as they forgot to fill-in the washer nozzle holes.

So the car came with a Grey full leather interior... I'll be doing the dash in black Alcantara/ novasuede (better weathering); Eventually going with black carpeting...

I figured the center console was still in decent shape; so why not dye it.




Still not done...Needed to come home to finish up some papers due Sunday at midnight.

However, on a sidenote...
The wheels should be coming together hopefully soon.. A huge thank you to Thatcher Schultz; who was able to locate some ever so hard to find inner barrels.

Thank you to Thacher for locating the rear barrels for me ; as they only make the barrels once a year

Wing was painted;
And started color sanding..

Ordered some more paint as well; since the hood needs to be reshot.
