One piece tint means that the slot for the rear brake light was not cut out. Props!

I've ALWAYS been a big fan of your wheels. And with the new color, I love them even more :D

Re: A Little Update, Nothing Special

hey that's the rim clamp i use to change tires

Everybody loves the Coats Rim Clamp! We don't have the extra arm on ours at work though :(

isnt it a b**** to do low profiles on that tire machine?

I thought it was... but then again these were the first 40 series tires I've mounted. I think the biggest problem was the wheels and not the tires.

Not really.. All you need is a bead setter to make your life alot easier.

:eh: How do you use that thing? :lawl: This tire machine has 4 high pressure bead setter nozzles on it.

nice job branndon

good wheel color choice. all-season tires?

No, they're summer only tires. My classmate with a turbo Prelude drove them through the winter though :lawl: He ended up in the ditch :lawl:

Your car is always looking real great man. Especially for the miles! Good luck with continued use!

Thanks!

Wow! I never really cared for those rims before, but since the color change, im diggin em!

Now get some coils and slam that *****!
I'm hoping to swap out the H&Rs for some Ground Controls this summer!

Loving the wheels. But what do you mean by one piece rear window tint?

One piece tint means that the slot for the rear brake light was not cut out. Props!

I was told that since rear windows are such a ***** that the tinter will cut it to size, then cut it in half and put it on the window in 2 pieces instead of one large piece. I don't have the 3rd brake light anymore so he better not have cut it out haha

Ohhh okay, I thought it meant he got the Dot matrix tinted somehow.
My missing strip of tint used to piss me off, but I'm in the process of taking care of that my own way...

The dot matrix is tinted, although some parts aren't stuck on very well.

That's why alot of shops use black vinyl on those pieces instead of tint. =)

About that bead setter... Did you have trouble getting the wheels over the rim or did you have trouble getting the bead to set?

That beat setter is mainly used for low profile tires or stretched tires mostly. It basically shoots a **** load of air into the tire so the tire will "bead" or seal on the rim.
