so against my better judgement i decided to buy some wheels yesterday. they were for sale locally and i just couldn't pass them up since there's hardly ever anything i like for sale locally. the wheels are Borbet Rs. 16x7.5, +35. right now they are a god awful teal color. i am thinking i want to remove the stupid fake bolt heads and fill the holes, then just paint them a nice satin black. i'm also probably going to get some 10mm or 15mm spacers to run all around, which will put me at or near the same fitment as the other 7.5 wide borbets (+20). and i'm probably going to go with dunlop ZII in 225/50/16 (i like me some meat)

i ordered some apex wheel studs today. kinda wanted some anyway and they'll be way safer when i'm using spacers on these new wheels.

wheel studs are here! apex messed up and sent me the 5 lug kit so i have 4 extra studs and lugs which is cool. that's what they get for charging me $25 to ship a VHS tape sized box across 2 states -__-
today i ordered my oil pressure and oil temp senders, as well as a filter sandwich plate. the sandwich plate is kind of a half assed way to do things but for $25 it'll get me by for now. sometime down the road when i rebuild the m20 or swap i'll actually drill and tap some stuff for the senders.
here's a pic of the wheel stud/lug setup:

got some more parts in the mail today. as you can see, they were nice enough to leave the sandwich adapter untouched after casting, so there were some nice chunks of aluminum ready to fall off into my poor engine. probably going to sand blast the whole thing for peace of mind. also got my senders for my gauges, which means they'll be fully functional right when the car is ready to go.
still waiting on my rollbar right now, its been 3 weeks since i ordered it and i have yet to receive a shipment notification. probably going to call them at the beginning of next week to figure out what's up.
