nah...jk.
I bought the Carlsson pedals from drex. already installed'em. The rubber pad on the gas pedal I couldn't figure out how to remove since the bottom part of the rubber pad is sleeve on. I just cut it and threw it away. Overall install was easy just pain in the *** you have to kneel outside the car.

that looks great, I love the finish! how is the weight compared to the 1/16's?
I think that since these are almost similar looking (in the multiple spokes) to the Carlsson's, that they show the optical illusion of 3-piece wheels... it kinda sucks how 3-piece wheels have the optical illusion of being smaller than one piece wheels of the same size. but, they still look great!

they're pretty light...a lot lighter than the Carlsson's.
but I'm having problem with the driver side caliper touching the wheels. the caliper itself may be lose...only touch when i'm turning right at speed, so dunno wtf. doesn't touch when going straight. gonna put 3mm spacer on them tomorrow. the passenger side is perfect. maybe the loose caliper was what's causing the shake while braking at speed.
oh wellz. i love the new rims...
looks a lot more sporty.
oh yea...and finally you can see my painted rear calipers.
