      With any luck, I should be able to get the wheels in this week to be powdercoated!

      Had another idea for them, as well. After seeing this one some other wheels before, this picture sealed it for me. I'm going to have a set of decals made for each wheel of the ACT logo (it's the same font), one for each wheel. Should look awesome, they have the perfect lips for them!

        I want to see how these turn out because if I like them I will do my Borbet's in this color.

              Dropped the wheels off today, and talked with the guy about the perils of sandblasting. He said he totally understood what I was talking about, and was actually going to mention it to me. But he said that his shop does tons of aluminum wheels, and they always come out looking just fine, and I've seen plenty of his work up close, so I'm super-excited!

              I should have them back next week, but I'm going to have him send me a few pics after he sandblasts them.

                      Got skunked today, there might have been a chance I would get them back today, but the owner of the shop had to make an emergency trip to Idaho to pick up a forklift...

                      Could possibly have them tomorrow, more likely Weds.
