Re: Daytona Blue C-West 350Z....Progress

lookin sweet so far with those rims

I think you should stagger the rims (wider lip in the rear than the front). You can shave the backside of the lips in the front (it's separate right?) to make them smaller than the rear.

That would just be perfect

thanks for the suggestion, it took care of 2 problems. It looks much better with the staggerd rims and now the front wheels don't stick out past the fenders. I just sanded the back of the lips a little bit, it is not a huge diffrence but is noticible. Thanks for all the comments guys.

Here are some crappy pics I took after I staggerd the rims per Jaymes' advise .

Re: Daytona Blue C-West 350Z....Progress

Thanks Sasa! I'm in the process of touching up the paint, I had a few spots go thru primer while rubbing it out. Should be an easy fix.

That is my favorite pic, I can't wait to see how the whole thing looks once it's fully polished. For some reason I always get bad orange peel when I use Cobra Colors clear. That's ok though it is the easiest clear to polish out, IMO.
