Can't wait to see the photos , I have been thinking of getting my rims done as well, Can you tell us the cost to do them.

my buddy has been doing this for only a year and was in the guard with me before so he hooked me up, he charges about 250 for a set of car rims if you take all the **** off them yourself, he didn't charge me anything other than putting a sticker on my spyder and tell people where I got it done, and seeing I am one of the 2 spyder owners in bemidji several people will have asked me about his work already. Wish I had a close outside pic, they glow when in direct sunlight.

take the axel out and have at least 3 people to put it back on, I did not do the sproket cause I think there is a clip that keeps the bearing in on that piece. Being in a wheelchair I had a 2 guys help me put it back on, there are 10 things to slide the axel through to get it back in so be ready for that and also belt tension is not like a chain I found out. On a side rant about the back tire, they put all that **** on the back axel but you have to measure from the back axel WTF. it was a chore.
