Default Ninja Pic of the IS-F wheels blacked out (one pic till tomorrow)

The wheels are almost done, they are back from paint and being assembled today and tomorrow. They are 3 piece so there is a lot more to them then slapping some tires on and rolling out. They didnt JUST get painted, they got modded. Where the spokes meet the dish, the gap was so small, water could get in, but not out. They modded that by shaving 1/16th off the end so the water can be blown out or have a chance to dry out. The way it was, there was potential to corrode. Also, they trimmed the inside "ring" of the rear wheels (where the rivets go) 1/4" which will give it another 1/4" of pecieved depth. They are still 10's in rear but will look a little deeper.

Here is the one ninja pic i have. I will edit this post so all the pics are together when they send me more in the morning.




edit: a few more pics they just sent to my phone....cant wait to get em! more pics coming today i hope. I might get them by tomorrow!









Rear dish just got deeper....Our IS-F's are not like BMW's, we dont get that tremendous deep dish very easily.
