planning on sending it to BNR maybe? they had a S4 turbo net like 400 WHP with about the same wastegate porting that your hotside has. Although i have to say that since you did it yourself its just a lil bit better.

 

Yeah. BNR stage 3, and a custom fmic is in my near future.

 

update 3-21-2010:

pre fit one of the new lips to the rear to see how well the wheel would fill out the 1/4 panels. time to take everything to the polisher...

 

fill em up and stretch em!

edit , ok the rims not complete yet lol i see the rivets missing

 

gotta get things polished first, plus...there is alot more to it than just seating the beads, and calling it a day.

 

Right on, this will be one well built respected FC's on this board IMO.

 

Wow that extra inch made quite a difference.
(thats what she said)

Also, unless your doing a lot of reversed burnouts, your tires are on backwards. lol
Assuming you already knew that of course.

 

what are you going to use to seal the wheels when you put them back together? I just took mine apart and am curious about putting them back together. great work.

 

i know, i grabbed one wheel for a test fit, tire direction does not matter for this.

black RTV

 

FYI- I believe clear GE silicone is preferred

I have done a few sets of wheels and I got that tip from a video of one of the companies that makes the wheels. In the video the guy says to use GE clear silicone so thats what I always went by, maybe RTV works also. I cant for the life of me remember what company it was though.

 

There are forums for rebuilding these wheels. RTV works perfectly fine.

 

as I said im sure RTV will work fine as well, GE silicone is fairly cheap at home depot, and they consider it 25 year warranty and all that nonsense

 

Those wheels are awesome.

You know what else is awesome?

Being able to change your own tires without a tire shop/tire tool.

I had to peep your thread and see what you were gloating about. Yeah, that's dope!

 

haha, its all good dude.

did you check out the whole thread?

 

I did. Pretty impressive. You pwn me at body work!

How much time do you have in the jam/quarter PRIOR to filler?

I was gonna say that looks pro but um....you did it for a living so yeah, pro!

 

the whole repair from start to finish took 38 hours

 

Any Updates? Been Over a month!

 

+1

 

been busy for the last month building 3 other cars.

the Fc has new brakes, pad's, and a front lip.

still need to get the wheel lips polished, and wetsand and buff the car. should be done next weekend.

BNR 2 or 3, and a FMIC coming soon.

ill put up pics this week.

 

In for the win. I need to see updates. You have the wheels I want. Where do you get replacement lips though? I would like to know.

 

Yeah, I'd also like to know where you bought the lips from... and how much were the step lip from 16 to 17?

 

Some updated pics should be up tonight, or tomorrow.

You can purchase BBS wheel parts from BBS.

 

anxiously waiting on said update.

 

I have always loved your car, it is everything my TII wished it could be

Great work on the repairs, fantastic car!
