    More Bottlecaps!

    Yes, cheap plug/take off.

    Im trying these things out before my first Auto-X this sunday. Have been wanting to do this for YEARS but now have a chance and i cannot wait. These are a set of 205/55-14 Kumho Victoracers on recently [and poorly] painted black bottle caps [i now have 3 sets]

    Im excited, figured id show you guys some pics, and maybe someone will shoot me while driving over cones this sunday and i can update this post.

    Nothing special, newish: DIY Euro trim that got back into on campus. And yes, i washed it NCFagIC.









    That and i discovered a cheap easy way to keep shit from flying around the trunk. Tupperware, velcro and hot glue. I was suprised to find it still in place after tooling around a little on these Kumhos. Theres about 5-6lbs worth of crap in it too!

                        that's to see how far the tire "rolls over" , to play with tire pressures..

                          Incorrect, a common misconception.

                          Those are actually measurements for the 2 inch wide whitewall he will be painting on with a gold trim ala vogue tyres, the finest tire in the industry.

                            yes, the gold trim will go on once the car it traveling at 80mph insuring an even coat.

                            yes, that type of velcro would work better, but i was using the materials i had on hand.
