Thanks VJ, same here!

These teaser pics just got me more anxious, might loose it when I see pics of the brush aluminum lip lol.

Think I settled on getting These Muteki Lugs and locks. I might just go all black though

you're definitely going to lose it man...theres no question about that!!
i'll make sure when i get those pics to send you an email before telling you to sit down...then send you the pics hahaha

great choice on lugs...we use the Mutekis here all the time
just make sure when you go to put them on, you use a good torque wrench and torque them to the amount it says on the package

and NEVER EVER EVER EVER go near these wheels or lugs with an air impact gun!!! EVER EVER EVER!!!! LOL i cant stress that enough!

lol if you see someone going to use an air gun, ninja kick them in the head and drive away!!

always screw the lugs on by hand, and then torque them down with a torque wrench

Muteki is garbage. Anthony has them and it's trash. You'll need a can of paint if you plan on keeping them. I had Project Kics but they faded badly and rusted so I just bought some open ended black forged lugs. I'll text you lol.

Lol now I kno what the finish product will like hehe

I was told to stay away from Project Kics if used on a daily driver. Maybe I'll try the 7075 aluminum lug nuts that are being sold through this forum. Very reasonable, $50 I think...

Oh ya, ISS Forged have been awesome to work with!

Its in the final stages so I should be getting more pics, more often.

A wheel company keeping you informed along the way...from what you typically read on the forum, its a rare thing!

I tip my hat to them

So wheels were finished last week Thursday, September 6th, so just a couple days over 4 weeks.

So on sticking to the 4 week production time. I give them 5 stars

Decided to go with a Matte centre instead of the gloss at their suggestion actually, and I think it does look better.

I don't think these pics do it justice so I'll be sure to snap some of my own when received.

I was hoping to have them Friday (today) but they weren't able to have it picked up on time Monday unfortunately, so it went out Tuesday. According to tracking which they provided, looks like it should get here Monday

I could have went with Red or Black center cap, had a hard time deciding then I settled on Red. Think it will match up nicely with the 40th brakes




got step lip??
