Cant fault the boys at H-Tech, Chris does fantastic work.
Yeah it looks almost factory fit

I had some AD07s (jap imports) which were superb tyres in the heat, especially on the one and only trackday I took the Rex on they never suffered despite me pushing relatively hard. Makes the Toyos T1Rs I have now pale into comparison however they are better in the wet

Good work on this project, Mugen front bumper next

Sand textured? and then lacquered??

I can understand the desire for some colour but I'm not sure that design of wheel (i.e. small surface area on the spokes) will give you the look that you are after, but then I am presuming that I know what you want!!

Brave though. Gulp

Problem is I want something different but all the wheel available are either super expensive or lots of body mods are required for cheaper one. I also like the look of the oem wheels and want them a different colour just don't know what. Anyone good with photo shop???

Exhaust has been altered so centre box is out and new tail pipes are on

This is candy red I want a much darker red and this one looks gay. Far too pink. I have been told in person it's much darker.

So more like the R26r wheel colour??

That's not as dark as they are in 'real' life IIRC

I was thinking about the same ish red as the Honda rocker cover!

Yeah I know exactly what you mean (Honda rocker cover) and that will always photo differently to a more even finish due to the way that a textured finish reflects/refracts light

Wheels are going to be painted Ferrari Red, centre caps will be black. I'm having the rocker cover done in the same colour but in a spatter texture. Its being done on the 12th. Its not the end of the world if I don't like it I'll just get it redone.
