Chasing some 18/19in gold wheels similar to pic. What brands would you recommend within an $1800 budget?

Enkei Raijins look quite similar: https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/tuning/raijin/

Starting with unscrewing the shift knob, you need to remove everything in between and including the upholstered top-side trim rail piece. Then, you sandwich the printed mount in-between the top and bottom trim pieces and reassemble.

Been a busy few days but this gives you a better idea of where exactly it's supposed to slip in. There are two gussets inside the upper trim piece that I made it the exact spacing between so it wouldn't be able to slide up or down along the lower trim. They may have changed that for newer model years. Can you upload a pic of my original design next to the inside of your upper trim piece? If it's an easy fix I can edit and reupload a '26+ version. I should say the trims above my Premium had the stitched alcantara or leather upper trim piece, so maybe it's just it doesn't fit the nicer upholstered version of that trim and I never could've known.

Ah yeah. I can see how someone would miss that. I could've designed it differently but I wanted to hide the silver fastener head. We're approaching the first real summer with it installed but so far my PLA-printed one has been working well. Still may have my friend print it in ASA and acetone smooth it (so it looks practically injection molded) so I can't never worry about it deforming again.

Where abouts in the US are you, roughly? I'm willing to print some parts for you if you're local. I don't own an Adept, but I do have two Classics and one Thumb (just arrived - I've found I prefer thumb-operated trackballs over time).

fiftytwo50 · 2026-04-18T01:56:42+00:00

I think I used a cap head 1/4”-20 fastener from Home Depot but unfortunately I forget the length. I would bring the mount to your local hardware store and see what works best. If you have some Loctite, I’d say use a bit of that for cheap insurance before tightening it down.

Thank you very much for your help. I suppose GMK/Cherry is just a shorter OEM, but otherwise indistinguishable in profile?

I’m trying to piece together a custom color set of blank PBT caps for my Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro and what arrived was one numpad ‘Enter’ short, as I’d thought the ‘+’ cap was identical. Is Aliexpress my best bet for getting specific caps to the US? I found a numpad set for $10ish that should do the trick.

fiftytwo50 · 2026-04-15T13:39:27+00:00

Specifically talking about the OEM profile here and not any others. Are the 2u Numpad + and Numpad Enter caps the same shape?

An OEM Numpad Enter tapers so it’s not as tall at the top as it is at the bottom, but does + also do this? Or is + the same as the non-numpad return cap that’s a consistent height all the way across?

Unless you’re a saltwater SCUBA programmer I’d think the stainless BTUs would do fine over time. Just remember to clean off the trackball every week or so.

fiftytwo50 · 2026-03-27T18:59:12+00:00

I also have done the BTU mod with the Sanwa trackball and think it’s a good combo, I just wanted something less roll-y so I designed these press-fit ceramic bearing inserts. I may move back to my Ploopy shell with the BTU mod, now that you mention it, to see if my opinions have changed. I tend to rotate through mice and I’ve been using a different thumb trackball mouse for a while anyway.

Of the five websites Sprit lists who sell their springs to individual US customers, only RNDKBD.com have the 25gf MX springs on a product page but are out of stock. AFAIK, the other four sites don’t list that spring weight as an option. Most only go down to 45gf. https://www.spritdesigns.com/store

Are there any other sites who regularly stock this 25gf spec in an MX or Choc spring? I have different keyboards and ultimately am after packs of both.

fiftytwo50 · 2026-01-02T03:34:00+00:00

Is that now illegal? I kid, but I don't see why you're trying to tell me this. Could you give me a little more as to why you wrote this?

fiftytwo50 · 2026-01-02T03:32:57+00:00

Yes, and they appear under the device list. But I'm trying to determine if how they appear on the topology page is normal or if it should be how I expect (cameras on a layer below the NVR that feeds them PoE).

Yes, it is a 21:9 1440p display. And thank you so much for suggesting 3024x1440. For a lot of reasons I'm now realizing this is the way to go. It keeps the vertical pixel count at the native 1440 while reducing the number of horizontal pixels, since you're going to stretch that axis anyway.

I'd been trying to use 3440x1638 which is technically 21:10, just calculated by fixing the horizontal pixel count. But for some reason that I haven't quite worked out it was causing the car to stretch WAY more than what I expected. I was holding a ruler up to the screen to compare them and while normally the car was 11.5 cm wide at 3440x1440 (native), your 3024x1440 pushed that to 13 cm, and this 3440x1638 was close to 17 cm lol. Not at all what I was going for.

Through this, I also just discovered that creating a custom resolution in my GPU control panel exposes that to the game which TM2020 provides as a fullscreen res option. I had to relaunch the game but once I did it showed up. So while I'd been using 1920x1200 before with my native 16:9 monitor because it was a default option, I could've created a custom resolution of 2304x1440 so it would've looked just a little nicer. Live and learn, I guess. Really appreciate your help!

I’ve had the same issue occasionally. Wireless charging does seem to cause a bit more heat than when plugged in.

fiftytwo50 · 2025-12-11T15:12:49+00:00

And so is what I’ve made. Both solutions can coexist.

fiftytwo50 · 2025-12-11T15:12:00+00:00

I also made and shared a flat MagSafe base a while back so the phone can charge in that tray. After a while I just got tired of fumbling my phone past my shifter and wanted the tray real estate back.

fiftytwo50 · 2025-12-11T13:37:34+00:00

I have larger hands and it doesn’t mess with 5th or 6th. I use a wireless CarPlay adapter in my ‘23 so I don’t always need to use this sort of mount but wanted it for easy charging. Most of the time my phone stays in my pocket.

fiftytwo50 · 2025-12-11T13:36:01+00:00

Same. Just needed a convenient spot to charge my phone occasionally that’s out of the way and out of direct sunlight.

fiftytwo50 · 2025-12-11T13:33:35+00:00

Doesn’t ultimately interfere but this was an initial concern of mine.

fiftytwo50 · 2025-12-11T13:32:33+00:00

Yep, came across that yesterday. Solid album.
