"Wow! That is a nice body of work sir! Just curious...what is the retail cost of something like this?"

Thanks very much, I'd say about $10k + taxes. I've got about 150 real hours into the project including the brake work. My cost on the paint product was out of this world, this is a big vehicle and it soaked up a lot of materials.

"Which shop are you taking your car to? did you use the H&R links for the rear or did you buy an adjustable pair?"

I did the 1.2" H&R and the adjustable links that came in the kit. With adaptive drive it's comfy/firm when I need it. Because of the V8 the actual lowering is about 1.75"

So the wheels are together finally and on route to me! A couple of teasers...

Photo shoot coming up

Let me know if you will be getting rid of your winter wheels/tires once those come in. I might be interested.

Do you have a paint code/color name for the paint used on your 214 wheels?

WOW! just WOW!

I even like the OEM wheels you resprayed. If you don't mind me asking what is the color code of the paint you used, that is a good gunmetal color.
