Next up were the wheels.
I decided to pick up the brand new Fifteen52 Podium, but they were JUST released. Even with expedited shipping, I was cutting it close! I had set my deadline for Thursday 8/1 for our annual company picnic and car cruise, and they were scheduled to arrive Tuesday! Monday night I gathered up all of my wheel fitting equipment to get them tucked just right.
Tuesday morning 3 of the 4 wheels arrived!!! The 4th got stuck in Indianapolis, so I decided to proceed with these.
The color is called Frosted Graphite and looks great. These are 17x7.5et42 and I'm mounting 185/35/17 Accelera tires.
Tower Tire in Blawnox came well recommended so they were up for the task.
Mounted up!
I ended up mounting them straight on up front and using 5mm spacers in the rear.
I also have black center caps, but prefer the red.
The 4th wheel arrived, I had it mounted up, and made it just in time to show off in our annual company picnic and car show! I parked next to Dave Dull's truck.
After a series of loooong days, I made it back to the shop in (mostly) one piece!
It was quite the transformation!
