Did you do the work yourself? If not, mind if I ask how much it ran you? Thanks.

Just a quick question frank
Are they wrapped tightly? Is it me or the pics,but i see something like wrinkles? Did you also re-wrap the sides? And how about the edges they dont seem to flow correctly?
I dont mean to knock your wheel. I want to do the same and im also considering TWS as the place to do them. Do you have better pics? Thanks
Other than that i like it.
