I think you're on the right track with your idea to make custom gaskets.

You sir have great taste. I wish I could play like this!

Thanks, hopefully in a few weeks I'll have time to mount them up

Finished up the mirrors today. I attached the glass with 3M Super Strength Molding Tape.

So there's no factory made gasket for these DTM mirrors and the original mirror gasket is way too large. Not exactly sure what to do about that. I might have to make my own. You can see the line on the molding where the original gasket was. If I leave it this way, wind and water are going to get behind the tweeter.

Trade for Futuras exact same specs

Ah, Futuras are some of my favorites. I'd be interested but I really need to get rid of some wheels I have sitting

[SteadyAim.]

Feeler. Contemplating putting these up for sale. PM me an offer if interested.

BBS RS 212 / 197

All 4 centers are BBS RS 212. Rears are built to 197 specs. Brand new lips and barrels all around.

17x8.5 et13
17x9.5 et13

I will source and include black caps, but I'm keeping these red ones for another RS build.

I'm fairly certain I used a silicon adhesive. It's waterproof and by nature fills low areas on the mating surfaces to get virtually 100% coverage. It may be a good idea to scuff the backs of the mirrors and backing plates (and then clean with rubbing alcohol) before applying adhesive?

Yeah that's a good call. Markus suggested using body glue or windshield glue, I suppose either will work. I don't really know the differences between them but I'll probably just use a good silicon adhesive.

That's a good call. I was even thinking of using some double sided foam tape for that reason but worried it might get water logged. What type of glue did you use?
