One xB2 owner had them do a fill and drill to 5x114 and worked fine. Now to do that to 5x100, IDK. Either way due to sunk status a spacer is going to be needed.

Hmm... maybe it did look better in my head. I'd have to see it in person.

Bum

vomit... cmon jasper... you're better than that... dont be a hype beast boy.

TCpete

also... one thing is to put saw blades on car that totally would not look right and another thing is to put a set of fake wheels but atleast visually the car looks good...

id rather rock a fake ___ wheel that looked really nice then an OEM wheel that looks distasteful on my car any day.

i'd rather rock the stock ___ wheels that came with my car than a fake wheel that looks distasteful on a car any day.

agreed. Jasper, don't. The rotiforms are fire, the rpf1's were fire but those are ugly as fuuuuuu.

as for the idea of air and tucking the advans...ya that is floating around...on top of a full oem lip kit and what not.

but i did meet a guy today while i was buying new wipers that has an 05 tc but wants a newer one and offered to buy mine...need to talk to him more and see if i can cut him an as is deal with no wheels obviously but i'll leave on the super 7s, but with the coils, grilles, navi, exhaust, so forth and so forth.

thinking like 9k total. car has 75k on it, needs new front axles and has been in an accident where the whole passenger side was replaced. KBB tells me 11k private but doesnt have an option for accident and that is stock . I figure as long as he pays full i can take a hit. i only have a little to pay off anyways.

Idk. Kind of feeling the sawblades. Not sure yet, I'm going to sleep on it. Someone local has a very clean set for $200. So I would keep the Rotiforms. I'd just play with the sawblades for a bit.

take that 200 and put towards a lens or something... you'd be happier anyways.

To polish:
Step 1: buy stock in 3m or various sandpaper companies.
Step 2: sand/media blast them
OR
Use a chemical stripper to strip the paint off (hard and time intensive)
Step 3: start with 300 grit sandpaper and wet sand up the grits up to 2000 grit.
Step 4: use scotchbrite to get a better shine
Step 5: polish with a drill/ball with Mothers etc.

Hit up tcpete he has a good write up
When he polished his LMs.
Oh and step 6: rub 25mm spacers, 17x9 et-8

^ Lol its not going to be easy, that's for sure. Just stop crying and polish those wheels, slap on some massive spacers, and ride the f*ck out!!

TCpete

if its your first time doing it probably a good 8-12 hours per wheel for a really professional looking polish. I can do it now in about 4-5 hours per wheel.

if your doing a full faced wheel and lip expect to take about 50-60 hours for all 4 wheels.

thats if u do it by hand like i did btw. if u used a machine with compounds u can cut the time in 1/2. i dont like machines personally, it takes the extreme dedication and self satisfaction out of it.
