So the wheels look amazing! And I got to drive on them for an entire 5 miles before I got two flats in the front, I thought ok maybe I didnt fill them enough (yea I should have checked before I went for a quick ride). But nope that's not it.

When Paul and I discussed the valves he asked if I wanted them hidden in the barrels, i was like sure so the rim line looks clean. Neither one of us remembered how big my BBK is in the front. The valve stems didnt clear the brake caliper but about 1/4 inch and I didnt even notices.

So as I was driving both front valve stems kept hitting the caliper until it eventually bent the pin in the valve opening them both up boom two flat tires, I noticed before they went completely flat and rolled into a nearby park.

Had to flatbed it the other two miles home.

Easy fix, just ordered flush valve stems, but man my dumb mistake ruined my fun.

Still, the car looked good on the flatbed :)

Stunning wheels!

Is it possible to run ET30 without spacers?

With 17's I believe so, but I am going to do 10mm spacers in the rear. I have 3mm for the front but I am going to see how it looks first, they are only 7.5 wide, not the normal 8". I only had two choices, 30 or 17 the way they are built. This is an RC090 converted to 3 pieces with a super RS caps, normal RC's (or style 5s) are only two-piece and they are 17x8 ET20.

^Ugh. Sorry to hear. I wonder if the airventdisplay.no gentleman prototyped his solution yet?

Hey Staszek, I don't remember if you added cruise control, but I updated the DIY Here so that you can use the correct TE MQS AMP plugs and pins for the cruise control module as well as adding the Cruise Control Clutch cutout switch with correct wiring/housings so that now cruise control will not only work, but cancel on speed differential, brake AND clutch disengagement!

I havent, but I will once the AC is working right. Something is still not right, it kicks on sometimes and not others.

So not sure if i mentioned this on this thread. I sold the wheels and have something new on the horizon.

Stay tuned!

Dang I like that! Do you have a link to the flooring you used? What happens if fluid gets under it? We get a good amount of snow here.

it’s a floating floor, interlocking, it’s a pretty tight seal so fluid shouldn’t get under, if it does it will be very minimal and should evaporate. I read through testimonials and people in so pretty heavy winter areas have no issues.

Here is the link! They have lots of options.

Crazy how the floor makes such a difference to the garage, looks great man

[quasi mofo]

I like that floor. Are those tiles peel and stick or floating?
