    Yes sir that’s the Etsy seller.
    From portugal to Nys in about 2 weeks from purchase to delivery.
    The 105mm overhangs the cap by a mm or two.
    I went to 12 different places today and could only find Rust-Oleum matte gold (Plastidip). It comes out of the nozzle a lot shittier than the brand name Plastidip.
    Color is very close to the Grimmspeed STI gold wheel paint I still have 4 cans of...
    As soon as this test Plastidip ring dries, I’ll snap pics and decide if I’ll just paint it the BBS gold color with real paint.

    Black center caps w red letters, gold beadlock ring, black lugs and ring bolts.
    I’m leaning this way heavily, but we will see in an hour or so.

    eta: one very cool thing about this wheel is the number of different options.

    I actually like it. Hopefully you can get a matching center cap, I’m sold if you can. That shit looks good.

    The ring bolts are extremely hard to find because of thread size. I just replaced mine with black ones, but they didn’t fit perfect and I did have to use a lock washer behind them because they were a hair too long. Let me know if you want to try them out I’ll link them.

    Did you go with domed or flat when you ordered the decals from Etsy?
    Also, could you link me the lug nuts and/or paint you used for the rings? That looks great, I’m really interested. Thanks man!

    Gorilla acorn/tuner style black lugs.

    gold ring was done with crappy off brand plasti-dip. The can may have had bad aerosol or whatever provides the spraying action, cause it’s basically full and nothing comes out now. At $11 a can I’m not willing to try it again, haha, I’m cheap.

    I ordered the flat decals from Etsy and then gave them 5 layers of clear coat after they were stuck to the caps.

    I will say I took this set of wheels to a local installer and they encountered a rare problem.

    the wheel locks I ordered on Amazon would not seat on the front wheel studs.
    Would seat on the rears, but not the front.
    Anyone encountered this problem?

    I ended up buying another set of lugs locally to make sure that all six lugs were actually engaged. But now I have 20 extra lugs and a set of lug locks that don’t fit.

    I cannot imagine that a tire installer can legally allow an entire set of wheels to go back out with only 5 of 6 lugs installed.

    Anyone have some info?

    That is weird as hell.. I can’t imagine why it would fit the back and not the front? If you don’t mind can you share the ones you ordered that did fit so that I don’t do the same thing? Lol
