      How has the paint held up?? Did you clear it?? might have to do this

        The paint is still holding up great. I just used the 99cent stuff from walmart. Colorplace is the brand I think? I like it better than krylon for stuff like this as it sprays a little thinner and lays smoother without looking to thick. No clear and no primer on it at all. I've never been a fan of rattle can clear since it always seems to put a yellow tint on thing's and honestly doesn't seem to make that big of a difference as far as being easy to clean and fade protection. But I did scuff all of them pretty good with 220 sand paper.

          For an update, I finally was able to get my car on the in-ground alignment rack at the lexus dealer down the street from our shop. It almost didnt fit on there because of the lip, but we made it happen. Anyways, even with the Ingalls camber kit which gave me +3 degrees of camber, the front still sits at -3.3 degrees. I've daily driven on -2 with both my trucks and never had to big of an issue so we'll see how that goes. Front toe is set at .13 left .14 right. Caster at 2.5 left 2.1 right. Rear camber is right on point at -.4 both sides. Rear toe is at .10 both sides. I plan to up the rear camber to -1.5 within the next few days. Anyone have any alignment suggestions?

                  Interesting wheels. Never seen them before...and i like them!

                  Way to be unique!

                  What's with the center section sticking out so far? And do they come with caps/covers?

                    great progress on the cb bro looking good keep it up

                      The wheels are Auto Strada Modena's made by Work wheels. It's a 2 piece wheel. The centers come out so far because there is supposed to be a 4 piece center cap, a disk,nut,cup, and pin. But the wheels themselves are pretty rare and the center caps are impossible to find. This is what they look like with center caps. But no I don't have them....



                      btw thanks wagonkid!

                        Dang...those look awesome.

                        I hope you can find some caps. Cuz it really finishes the look. Still a great find though.

                          Thanks. I'm gonna keep an eye out for the caps, but not to worried about them. I have extended wheel studs on the way and lug nuts soon.

                            May i ask what brand studs you went with?? Im thinking about getting some ARP's. I love the progress on this build, you sir do not mess around. Keep it up

                              I bought Blackworks studs, but that was atleast 2 weeks ago and they haven't arrived yet, so I fear they might be on backorder. If they are im gonna go with ARP.

                                Started polishing the wheels today. I havent decided if I want to strip them and wet sand yet so I hit the lips with some polishing compound and then flitz polish.




                                I want to paint the face of the wheels white. Do you guys think I should paint the area under the bolts? or polish it? From the factory it's polished.
