    Born again Borbets

    Just got my Type E's back from the powdercoaters today, and just about sprung wood when I walked in the door. $240 out the door to have them stripped and coated. They even fixed a small but badly curbed spot on one of them without me even asking. It's not 100% fixed, but they ground most of the nastiness out and powdercoated over it, and it's pretty much invisible. Tires will be mounted tomorrow, I'll get more pics then.

            Look at that subtle off-silver coloring. My god, they even have a watermark.

                You guys should see them in the sun. It's metallic silver, and when the sun hits them, they just glisten. :D

                    Hows about this shit.



                    God these fucking tires are insane. I took it out for a drive after I put in my stud kit, and plowed this fucker into corners way harder than I usually do, and not a squeal.

                        I just got new centercaps for them today, too. I went with the black ones rather than the silver ones. They're a lot higher quality, too. They're clear acrylic with the logo underneath, like the steering wheel roundel.
