The Yokohama is a good tire. My friend is running them on a set of RA's and they stick to the pavement pretty well. The polished lip really cleans the look of them up. Who did your refinishing?

[brutus87]

Thanks, I really wanted RS wheels, but when I got these and they looked amazing, I forgot about those wheels quick lol. those are really crappy pics, they look even better in person, and not so dark. I got them done at Factory Wheel Outlet, it wasn't cheap, but the work looks good.

Where are they located? I want to have my Ronals redone at some point and possibly my 17" Style 5's. Stripping clearcoat is such a pain in the ass.

[brutus87]

Off highway 212 and 205.
Take the wheels in, they quoted me a price over the phone, and when I got there, lets just say I gave them some latin heat.

Talk to Rick, he was really nice. it was the phone dude who messed up.

[e30austin]

Haha. Sweet. The Ronals are in good shape, but the lips need some love. I just don't have time to finish them! How much did they quote you per wheel?

[brutus87]

They "quoted" me over the phone, 135 a wheel.
Like I said, when I got there, it was a different story.
The wheels came out great, and the manager was willing to work with me on the price difference, so im happy.

[e30austin]

Maybe I'll go buy some aircraft stripper tomorrow...hahahaha.

[brutus87]

just wear a mask, we dont need anymore brain cells dying lol

[e30austin]

Heh, more like a respirator. My shop isn't the best place to be using aircraft stripper in, so most likely it'll be outside.

[Keith M]

Looks awesome Carlos.
Austin-I'm kind if an expert with paint stripper-text me for some tips.

[Ryann]

It would appear that Carlos has some ring money left over after all.;) Looking good man.
