Not quite! They are 5 spoke like the K58rs, I'll give you that...
I'm enjoying it
But honestly, the wheels are pending refinishing and my painter is out on vacation. I won't have any pictures or anything to share until they're ready.
Alright, quick update. Read more in detail on my website, Grand Mighty, as always.
Will be using the Sake Bomb aluminum grip handle:
I had my metal door handles and the triangle base pieces refinished together so they match perfectly. The handles fit great and feel great. The plan is to polish these pieces later to bring back some more gloss.
Installed Ganadors!
More soon.

Installed my Alcantara wrapped rear quarter trim panels, done by the professional folks at ESH Upholstering.
These came out awesome and look great. One by one I'm converting the interior over to Alcantara. These rear quarter panels were worth it because of their large size and high surface area of 90s plastic.
I'm in the process of redoing my entire audio system.
Hybrid Audios with XT60 connector leads I made:
Sealed up the doors with sound deadening:

More oCarbon progress on the trim pieces! These specific ones are nearing completion, there's still more polishing to do to remove minor imperfections.
I love custom work like this, especially when they live up to expectations. Can't wait for them to be all completed and in my hands.
Before clear coat...

Haha, you guessed it right out of the gates but I figured I'd still milk it for a bit
Thanks bro. I'm not going to lie, most of the time when I try to go fast I have trouble putting the power down. I refuse to run super fat wheels or go wide body due to personal beliefs on aesthetics and proportions... so... and yet I'm already itching to break the 500rwhp barrier

They will, although they have step lipped barrels, the offsets are quite aggressive
The rear windshield having defroster lines was an aesthetic element that bugged me. Solution: Lexan/Polycarbonate. Shedding about 20lbs of weight isn't bad, either

Raw, uncoated Lexan does but I specifically bought this window with a special hardcoating that should make it resilient to normal wear and tear. I saw a video of them scrubbing a hardcoated window with a steel wool pad and it held up, which was intense. I shall report back on how my window fairs.

You sir have great tastes and know what's up
No windshield, that would be doing too much for a street car. These polycarbonate windows are obviously thinner so the increased noise from having it up front would be detrimental. The back is a safe choice and I took inspiration from OE Manufacturers that do it... like the new Porsche 991 R.
