I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

It has begun....

build threads. post pics & specs & brag about your ride.

they're not powdercoated ... he had Crum's Auto Body paint them. I think they charged 125 or 150 because "they were a bitch to sand" ...

definately came out well ... i checked em out in person when they were fresh and there isn't a flaw at all... definately going to look great on his car :up:

Be VERY careful who you have put tires on the rims. Being that they are painted and not powder coated it will chip off reasonably easy.

i'm pretty sure i read that all rotas are just painted, rather than powder coated ... and i haven't had a problem and i've had plenty.

to be safe you should really spend the extra cash and go to laurel bmw or something and have them use the plastic machine.

But who the fuck does that anyway.

I've got a crowbar and some vaseline, let's get to it.

haha :idb: . The wheels look good, that Mean Green stuff will take some of the glossy-ness out of that color if you want them to look a little more 'flatter'.
