17s. For some reason this design makes them seem larger. Or maybe it's because I'm so used to seeing the stock 15" steelies.
The only problem is, I don't think that there are any TPMs in them. I'm going to take it to the tire shop this weekend to see what my options are. I really don't want to spend the money to have them open them up.
Just got mine a few days ago, haven't really done much. Just put on the gel badge covers that are apparently no longer available (too bad, I'd cover the wheels and steering wheel now if I could)
Where did you get the gel overlays?? I've been looking at dmb overlays, but they just recently stopped making them. I was pretty bummed when I found that out.
@flip did you use Plastidip on the grill too? I've been wanting to do this since I saw a photo, but wasn't sure if it was paint or plastidip. Just tape and spray? How many coats did you do on the grill?
Yeah, it's all plastidip, had about 4 solid layers..the first couple are barely there because you have to put it on so light..but yeah, I taped it off, covered the overspray area and went at at..really simple really.
and that's where I made my mistake last night... good thing this stuff peels off!
I definitely didn't spray lightly on my first few layers not even thinking how that affect the line when I go to remove tape. Regardless, lines were not as tight as they could've been. Will be removing tonight and retrying (maybe with hood) some time this week. Thanks again for all the help guys!
Even with light layers in the beggining, I had to run an exacto knife down the egde of the tape, just so it was a clean edge. Plastidip likes to stick to the tape and stretch when the tapes peeled off.
I wish I was one of those guys. Then I wouldnt have the awesome "some dhead backs into your bumper and drove off without leaving insurance info" mods.
