Nice work PJ!! I been away for quite some time but thinking about doing some TLC to my c43. Can I ask where you got your wheels refinished and for how much? I'm looking for some 18" Monoblocks and would be good to know how much a refinishing costs.

PJmak

Thank you .

I got my wheels done at a localnplace called rim pros.

They charge 150 a wheel for averything including curb rash and fixing bends and thats probably average price at most places.

@PJmak just wanted to verify, are you talking about Rim Pros in Sacramento? Im in the East Bay,

PJmak

yep not sure yet id recommend the however

One of the faces on the wheel has cracking clear coat already due to it not properly curing. Itll need to be redone.

Most recent pic. Bumper has been dropped off for repairs.

While the wheels are badass, that looks like it's gonna rub pretty good. Are you going to massage the fenders?

Do you have correct camber/toe settings on rear wheels?
Rear wheel sits where much outwards fender edge.

Wheels suits this car very nice

PJmak

Thanks man.

I doubt anything is correct about the suspension setup but I dont care

MattCordell

In due time, you'll have the wheels aligned.
rear wheel looks like it's leaning inwards, you could do the full Japanese style at full angle

Few updates as of last few days.

Heard from the painter, hes getting started on my bumper.

My euro lights came from europe but they cracked on the way here. Amber corners should arrive any day.

Swapped steering wheel and did a seat conversion. As some of you might know my black car was wrecked. Between the two cars and four front seats, the two best seats are the passanger seats so what I did was a conversion of a passanger seat from my black car to be a driver seat in my red car that way I am getting the two best front seats in my car.
This involved taking out the lower back airbag and drilling out the air control mount and riveting it in on the oposite side. Also the bottom assembly of the seat needed to be swapped(railis with motors on them). Visited my friend to borrow an air imoact gun which is needed to remove the steering wheel. Took a shot of his 5.4 swapped c43.
