| Something I've been slowly working on since it started getting cooler... Also I've got some stuff happening over the next few months that should be fun. | |

| Pretty good for some shitty Sportmax.
I'm debating polishing the other wheels I'm picking up, but might just use those for a bit before doing anything with them. | |

| Some emery, tripoli and white rouge with various wheels, then hand polishing with some White Diamond metal polish. But that's after some sanding to get rid of the machining marks and going up to 1500. I've spent way too much time on them so far, still have 2 remaining. | |

| Yeah I can't either. I'll probably run the 17s for daily wheels and swap on the "new" ones for when I head out to Euro Hangar and any other shows since the fitment should be better.

| Oh I know. Also Chad, do you know if you work the Saturday before the Sunday April 29th meet? Rob needs a drive-on alignment rack, and apparently there aren't any over there, and he was wondering if he could have it aligned the Saturday before that meet. | |

| Yeah that's what I still have left to do. I'm trying to find a good way to get the camber set evenly on both sides in the rear. | |

| Fitment on the new wheels. These aren't the polished ones but the fitment on these will make me want to run them all the time. I took the spring out and dropped the car down to ride height, looks like everything will barely clear without spacers. I might run a 3mm spacer to keep from hitting the shock and the emergency brake cable. | |
