Yeah, I agree, but I think it’s just a symbolic indication of how difficult they’ll be to clean

But yeah, nylon bottle brushes are not what you want

Got some new meets for my chariot a fresh set of Nankang AR1
Will be putting them in the car next week to give them a proper try out

Plugged an almost brand new tire after picking up a self tapping sheet metal screw. Car got us to Rockville, a big music fest at Daytona International Speedway (which I’m too old for, but f it). I’ll have it fixed right in a week or so.

I have wanted a set of those since forever. Sizes you chose? They look thick, but it's a thick looking tire.

How do you find the noise compared to you previous tyres? (Not too sure what you were running before)

This puts me off a full blow track tyre, as I drive to the track on them.
Currently running cup 2’s and find them Louder than my PS4’s but it’s bareable.

437s are back from powder coat, I chose gloss silver.
Acexxon “FRear Reflectors”,
Black G87 M2 Badge ($20 cheaper on IND than the Black F87 M2 badge )
ARM exhaust tips.
Along with my new (ZIPY) plate.

I love the way this car is turning out. I’m also happy with how the wheels turned out although there’s still some angles i’m getting used to!

-Let me know your thoughts on the 437s and going away from the two tone.
-Car is on EMD springs (Recently switched from Macht Schnell springs)
-My camera skills are shotty 😁
-Enjoy

I don't mind getting away from 2-tone 437's, but bright silver on any of the darker colors doesn't do much for me (in pictures), but IRL it's great I think. A very shiny medium grey is the ticket for MG I think, but it's a hard color to achieve, not too bright and not too dark, but shiny as hell.

Haven't heard of EMD springs, but the car looks super low, maybe 590/595?? Looks fantastic. And you're on 12/10 spacers? That front looks very close.

You're using a wide aperture, so you need to make sure you're always correcting that pink/green CA, and backgrounds make shots. Always have your auto-iso on for a little bit more than double the lens focal length so you don't get that motion blur. Even so, first shot is great IMO.

I chose Ferric 437's for my LBB at first and had the same issue, quite stark in pictures, but great IRL. Ride height is 595/600 with 12/10 spacers and stock size tires.
