Christmas Came Early (Late)
I bought these wheels in October to replace the RSs, which have gone up to Canada, but they just now arrived. They came from a guy stationed in the Air Force in Germany, and apparently were returned to their sender once before they made their way to Baltimore. It took awhile to track down a staggered/forged set (17x8/9), but I ended up finding em for a steal. They'll be tucked away in the basement until I find some time to start refurbing them, along with my other winter projects.
On the list will be a sand blasting down to bare metal and subsequent powder-coating to stock silver for both the wheels and turbine covers. I need to source a few new plastic parts for the covers, too. I'm thinking the throwing star covers will be for put up for sale soon. I'll end up grabbing some Adaptec 4x100 > 5x120 adapters at some point and some new rubber as well. I'm going with chunkier tires this time around too, stay tuned...
