what was welded on my wheels?

It's the "fill" part of "fill/drill".

what was welded on my wheels?

Well, unless they used super glue and bondo to fill the holes, they were welded in.

I'm with you. 13.4m mis just over 1/2". Thats asking alot from a cast wheel thats been welded on.

So 13.4mm thick or should i say thin? bore/core/center. Them wheel boys really went all in while machining them.
I don't know why they scooped out so much metal from the center.
It looks clean, no doubt. Cleanest i have ever seen.
But i would not drive too hard on this fill and drill.

More pics please!!

Also, i could see some wheel studs looking nice on that setup.

still interesting to me how DS looks depending on what angle you look at the car,

test fit of the rear only with a little drop on BC coilovers. i'll need spacers up front before they go on







in need of alignment, some adjusting up front, next is painting the IS lip, IS skirts and spoiler. will more than likely get some cleaner bolts too

[keefy6]

decided on tires, which the kind UPS man delivered

205/45R-16 Dunlop Direzza DZ101 hope to mount tires on wheels tomorrow
