Looks like -15 is about max with out them sticking out and looking like a drift boy, Last shot is the wheel back side that goes right in to my caliper. Problem. 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) The back face of that wheel looks pretty shallow. You're running a custom Klotz setup to 5 lug, aren't you? What calipers? Also, nice socks, bro. Edited August 10, 2018 by mainer311 1 Quote Link to comment

Will do a whole new rear end some time in the near future. And it will be a 17x8 if anything. I believe a -15 is about all you can go with out the rice boy drift look. I dont want that. 2 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I can see that the mounting shaft on the mirror is a stock unit. What did you do to get the mirror body so nice? Is it just a really nice OEM one that's been painted. It's plastic, so it can't be powder coated. Is the mirror glass just glued in? Got a pic of the back side of the mirror body? It came out really nice! Great work! 2 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks guys! I googled Everwing brand mirrors and found an ebay listing for $159! Ouch! Are they all that expensive? Maybe I should start designing a replacement. LOL The stalks always survive....just the mirror piece dies. 2 Quote Link to comment
