Avus wheel mounting update
by Matt on Jun.30, 2009, under Mods
The Michelin Pilots I ordered are too wide and are very close to rubbing the front control arms. I had Jason send them back and order me a set of General 225/45/18 instead.
Avus wheels are finally finished
by Matt on Jun.28, 2009, under Mods
The Avus wheels I bought a few months ago are finally finished. After several failed painting attempts I got a good final product. I used Duplicolor wheel paints. I’m not happy with the final color, it’s too dark. I should have used the OEM Wurth paint. Ordered some Michelin Pilots from Jason. He has 2 235/45/18s sitting around from a Lambo. I ordered two new ones along with a set of 10mm spaces & long bolts to keep them from rubbing the front control arms.
