  • Got my new tires today. 275 40 ZR17 Nexen N3000



    These are some of the cheapest tires out there in this size. What reviews I found looked decent and I wanted to try something different. Now I just wait for the powdercoater to finish up.

    • Cheaper than Raptors?

      If I get these 17" Z06's, I was decided either the Nexens or Raptors.. I get discounts on the Nexen so lmk how the ride quality is


      I just mounted a pair of those today for a customer haha

        They told me that they were getting very popular...whatever that means. And yes, cheaper than Raptors. If Joel didnt have them I may have went with those, dont want our cars to be too similar. lol

                    I have no idea.

                    I just bought the same size tires that I had on them.

                            • After a painstakingly slow week at the powder coaters I have an update.

                              Got 3 wheels back that were blasted and given a new coat of silver. I will be taping these today and tomorrow.

                              The 4th wheel that was getting black did not turn out how I wanted. I had the lip being black, guess the lip is too small, the tape was pealing it when removed.

                              Going to just have the lip done in silver powder coat and maybe I will paint it black, maybe not. Joel made a good comment that black would make the wheel look smaller and after looking at the wheels last night, he is deff right.

                              The messup wheel is getting blasted and coated in silver like the other 3.



                              How the car sits right now


                              Got my turn signals in, correct bulbs, happy with fitment now.


                              That concludes my makeover of all exterior lighting.
