Kevin also brought up a good point while we were chatting. Wheels. I've avoided buying wheels for the longest time, mostly because I'm not really a wheel guy. That's not saying I don't appreciate a fine set of wheels, every man does. Wheels are just expensive.

But anywho, Kevin pointed out that I can't exactly have this gorgeous paint job and then plasti-dipped wheels. Apparently plasti-dipping your wheels is cheap looking So I'm probably going to have to get in contact with Nine Ball about getting a set of F14's. I'll be going with 19s, maybe 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 not sure exactly.

Is there a date when these will become available, and are they available in 19s?

Just got a copy of the door projector image:



It's being made by the same guy who made Mindz' door projector. To give you an idea of what it will look like.
