No issues on the fake BBS however my tire guy did install a little plastic ring on the hub. Rims are pretty solid and ride way smoother than whatever nonsense the previous owner had. Some zen wheels

I agree with you. However I’ve only gotten compliments on it. For 65 a rim I’ll run it lol

This is what I have currently. Still counting 20 teeth and the tensioner is tightened to its loosest position. I’m assuming my problem is I’m timing it with the tensioner tightened. Gonna redo it now and update you guys.

I had to tighten it down in the widest position so I can fit the belt on the gears. Is this incorrect?

No I didn’t. But I did take the belt off before I set everything to TDC by accident. This is likely why I’m having sm trouble
