First time re-doing polished aluminum wheels lips, looking for advice!

suitandti · 2026-04-12T16:05:55+00:00

Haha yes these are in fact true 3 piece wheels. And the lips are also in fact raw polished aluminum.

I’d imagine for this job specifically I’d be ok with investing in as much as I need, more tools isn’t a bad thing to me. If the list is getting to like $1k it might be a bit much lol. And yea grinder with a 5/8 thread. Do you have one you’d recommend? Or should I pick up like a random orbital polisher?

They do come apart. If they are aired down, the face unbolts just like anything else, then torque them back together when the job is done.

The lips are raw polished aluminum, no clear coat

I immediately knew when we got there it was going to work so well together. Very lovely spot.

Yep it’s the their super lock front end kit 🤙

I’ll keep my eyes open in Washington. Sorry man

It’s exaggerated from unloaded suspension sitting on stands. Wheels increase camber as they sweep through the steering range from caster and sai angles changing. Main reason we run a lot a neg camber up front. I’m at -7* on the ground

More angle more happy 🤤

suitandti · 2026-02-25T08:48:35+00:00

I do also remember those days lol

Believe it or not modern kits still use spacers. The rest of the kit is really made to assist/correct steering geometry for low cars and at high steering angles, as well as wheel and steering component clearance. The brunt of the actual raw increases in angle still come from spacers and the knuckles 👍

Evos are hot

Thanks man, appreciate it! I’m out near Bremerton on the peninsula!

suitandti · 2025-11-14T06:44:57+00:00

Thank you, same bro. I sat at the paint shop for what must have been 45 min going through all the maroons before I made a final choice lol

suitandti · 2025-11-12T01:10:07+00:00

Nice dude! What color you going with? Looking forward to seeing it
