I was wondering if anyone in the MA area can let me borrow a set of wheels for about a week.
My bodyshop needs to paint my wheels and I need a set to use while they are being painted.

He can't get me into a loaner, so he just taking off the wheels.
He is trying to find a set that will fit the FX, but I figured I'll try and find a set myself.
I pretty sure he's not going to find another set of stocks...maybe he can hook me up with some 22"! :laugh:

If anybody that has a extra set of wheels and are willing to let me borrow them, I will be truly grateful!

Thanks!

I have a set of 18 stockers with stock Bridgestones in the storage but I believe they'll need to be balanced. If you can live without the balancing, you can borrow them. They don't have the tpms as well..

Thanks Ege!

I'll confirm this with you after I speak to the bodyshop tomorrow...Not sure if they found a set of wheels for me yet.
I rather let them do all the legwork if possible, since they are the ones that messed up in the first place.
 
Hey Ege,
Thanks for meeting up with me and lending me the wheels tonight...nice to finally meet you.

Now we just have to find time for a real NEFX meet.

No problem buddy.. I'm not that enthused about the meet though.. Look how many voted for the name.. At best chance it'll be you, me, nismokid & gchristopher. Maybe aznpho as well.. Maybe we should do a dyno day. Now that would encourage people I guess..
 
damn Will, The BS is still not done with your wheels yet?? Are you getting the grille painted the same color also??

Hey Evan,
Yah the BS is still going on....just dropped off the wheels this morning.
They won't start painting them until maybe tomorrow. Should be done next week.
I need to go by tomorrow at lunch to confirm the actual color I want. They are blending the ALSA MirraChrome and the Candy black to achieve the Hyperblack/black chrome look...going to match the stock grille, headlight & tailights, so I won't be painting my grille.
I think it should look pretty good.

I had to borrow Ege's stock 18's because Gary is too cheap to get me a rental!

Still waiting on those pics of your grille.....:confused:
 
wtf? they waited this whole time to finally tell you this about the wheels? thats fkd up. I thought Gary was better then that.

You never got my email with the pics of the grille?? :confused: I'll resend them tonight when I get home.

Oh yea I saw you in Quincy near the T/ Home Depot yesterday, I was in the company car tho. The FX sounds sweetttt :4tongue:
 
Thanks Evan! I'm loving this HKS exhaust...still need to adjust the tips a bit higher if possible.
I was leaving work and needed to get to Gary's so I could determine the color shade of the wheels. That didn't turn out very well...they couldn't get the MirraChrome to get a reflection like chrome does. They also were spray testing on paper which isn't very smooth so the effect wouldn't work anyways.
Gary is going to order a airbrush gun and fine tip nozzle to do the painting since the paint was on the rough side with their spray gun. He is going to test it on aluminum instead or at least something with a surface similar to the wheels.
Looks like he's going to need to order more MirraChrome!
