won't that make the pegs slippery when they are wet?

Verus Cidere · May 10th, 2009, 11:00 PM

From what I can tell, those are special aftermarket pegs that have rough areas all around them, almost like the spiky end of velcro that hooks into anything that has a space.

TnNinjaGirl · May 11th, 2009, 06:10 AM

That is blue. What temp do they bake your parts that spin in? I'd be afraid they might warp.

I heard a rummor (meaning I don't know if it is true or not) that coated wheels have a tendency to chip. Do you know if that's a fact?

The coating can Chip if Its to Thick or Under Cured..

If Coated right Powder coated wheels will Hold 100+ Times Better & Longer

the front wheels are 17x9 and the rear are 17x10.5.
thanks,
tin

I used SOUPY'S Front & Rear Full lowering Kit..

Its about 1'' in front and about 2'' in Rear..

Little Rougher Ride but not bad.. I will have to raise the rear back up 1/2'' or so so Rear tire Doesnt hit inner fender on Big bumps ...
