Dry fit the BBD RA's just to make sure everything was kosher.

They're headed to the shop this week for a full refurb and BBS gold paint.

After pictures will be sure to follow. ;)

Ha!--when you said 'Shoes' I thought you meant park-brake shoes....

Should look nice those 'boots' on there--as we call 'em in UK.....:D

andrewjtx 11-03-2012 06:06 PM

I thought the trunk was the boot. Damn you Brits are confusing ;)

Alastair 11-03-2012 06:10 PM

Yup--you are right, Boot is trunk, and boots/booties for tyres and wheels....

--I don't understand cricket either.....:D

The lips will be machined, he just sprayed one wheel for me to OK the color. Machining and clear coat will be finished by tomorrow...

I think you mean tires!:P:D

Are those wheels aluminium, or are they aluminum? :D

andrewjtx 11-08-2012 05:50 PM

aluminum

:)

IMO, 80's basketweaves should all have gold centers...

The outer rim will be machined down to the alum and then clear coated.
