Thanks fornthe 30 day curing tip. I will keep that in mind. They are kinda rubbery right now. Huh. Maybe I just tried too soon. Dang. We'll see. The "Dip Your Car" guys have a youtube vid on the feathering with a remover solvent. Looks likena good strategy. Man, the little projects pile up!

After the look, which I love, these wheels have three great features I really wanted: twelve pounds, 15", and a pretty aero shape that felt I could figure out how to make into a unique aero wheel by blanking the holes. Stay tuned. That's next.
My test drive past a radar speed readout checkpoint shows a big change in the data from the TPS as a result of the wheels. I am guessing 4-8% reduced speed/RPM. Gonna track it better with a GPS.
