Yeah, it allows you to move it around a little to get the proper fit. Really helps.

I thought with Carlos being no more than 2" that he wouldn't be able to move it around much anyways.

CubanJJ09 · 04-08-2009, 05:33 PM

yea but with my thick roll it becomes super adhesive

I do care about others opinions so I would be interested to hear what you guys think about the 159's being powder coated, is it totally gay, or just a little gay?

Paul, go to the pictures subforum and look/search for SG with Gunmetal rims.

I personally think the combination looks incredibly drab... too many neutral tones.

I would tell you to either do black (which I still don't think would look that great) or just leave them silver... the lighter color wheels contrast against your paint looks much better IMO.

Nebster · 04-08-2009, 07:12 PM

Mine's not THAT bad.

I think gloss black will look good on SG but other than that go silver or lime green like Ben wants
