Duuuuuude, Much like everyone here my jaw has dropped and mind is officially blown.
I hope to see your finished product in person one day! I've got a set of stock wheels laying around that I never ever plan to use Im not sure what condition yours are in. I'm selling on the forum, but I like your determination and want you to succeed. So if you want them they are yours....free. I'm in So Cal so you can come pick them up if you want them.
I may also have a couple of random things you many be able to use, I'll have to dig.
