I sealed the wheels before they were put on the car with FK1 #1000 - I left the residue on on the inside wall

I went from this:

Re: New wheels and my dirty car

You definitely need 10mm's on the fronts.

The first picture kinda looks funny and I was going to say it is too much poke, but the other angles seem to look fine.

Re: New wheels and my dirty car

Really like the new wheels.

I hear ya on the dirty car, been more than a week since I washed mine. Thought about washing it today but I went on a 33 mile ride instead.

Re: New wheels and my dirty car

I'll get to see the new wheels tomorrow. Does it ride differently?
