Well quite a bit today! Slp gen 1 traded for an aeroforce which is showing me up to like 3.9 of kr at the top of the shifts. I'm running 93 octane and all stock besides the cai. Thinking of building the center council holder for that and another gauge
Then was trying to determine which wheels for brandon and i, but he liked his stock wheels, and I liked the kv5's so the Mille miglia spyder plus wheels will be up for sale!

Looks awesome man. Did you dip the door handles?

Nope they are carbon fiber wrapped along with some other things still on the car! I kept them on so people don't scratch them along with the little bump guards on the edge of the doors so there won't be paint chips if my door flies open haha

Wheels look good, but the tires seem a tad too small, in my opinion.

I would rather it not be in such a visible spot, plus i think it looks cleaner when it is down there and using up the empty space.
The tires are 245/45/18 so it should be the right size, its probably just cause you all want me to be low like you!
Thanks Mike, just a quick question. Is there anything i can do because it seems like the finish is coming off? We used the proper wheel cleaner because brake dust, dirt, grease, etc was stuck on it took some off a little. There is like scratches in the finish that could probably be taken out, but i don't know the best way or products to use to do it?
I also got some new tire shine that I am very happy with! Armour all extreme tire shine that goes on very easy, and stays on without flying over the car and shines for a while after being applied!

Looks like the finish is starting to come off. I would try some polish first on that faded area just in a little test spot. If it doesn't help I would leave it. Compound might make it worse. On those scratches try some compound and see if that helps. Again in a small test spot. Use both with a foam applicator to start. If you need to get more aggressive you can move to a microfiber.

Should I use meguiars ultimate polish, or should I use a metal polish?

Quit fiddling with tire shines and get this coating. Don't use the supplied cleaner, use Meguiars Hot Rims all wheel cleaner.
Be careful not to hit the wheels when applying. This will last over 2 months easily and you can clean with car shampoo.....no browning.
I have 3 kits in case they decide to discontinue it.......yes it is that good.
And the car looks great with the wheels.
You can survive without the door handle stuff.
