KW V3 install and wheel rebuild
Id like to share something ive been working on this winter. I had a set of 20" DPEs on this car for quite a while and been itching to drop this. I bought a set of KW V3 from Arsha at Vivid and got a very attractive deal. It was drop shipped to my place from KW Germany. I brought it to my guy Karim down here in Chicago to have it installed. In the process the rear wheels were definitely going to rub and stuck out a little too much VIPstyle for me and there was a slight bend so i decided to rebuild the rear set. A couple days later, new inner barrel, new chrome lips -1/2 inch. The teardown and rebuild are in the pics attached. I unbolted everything and took the bolts to work. I stuck them in the ultrasonic with compound remover and they came out like brand new. I got these back home and bolted these all up at 28 ft/lb for the through bolts and 15 ft/lb for the blinds with loctite red. I used Dow 732 for the silicon seal. Im just waiting on the TPMS adapter and all i'll have to do is let the silicon set, mount tires and be ready for the spring.
