You talking about like the carbon fiber down force air intake that replaces the original and sends air directly into the air intake? I bought one of those...

I personally use the 40 mm spacers in the rear with integrated studs so they're real easy to install. It's perfect in my opinion and doesn't rub anywhere. I have 15 mm spacer up front with longer wheel studs. Unfortunately, those are too narrow and don't match the rear spacing. I think a 25 mm spacer with integrated studs (which makes it easy to bolt on) would be perfect for these up front.

Any details regarding the process you did on these? =) Looks awesome.
What Center caps? Do they just cover the wheel hubs? I like the lugs exposed.
@guidon2222 your car looks great with the refinished fat fives.What Center caps? Do they just cover the wheel hubs? I like the lugs exposed.
Hmmm...nothing on eBay. Where else could I look?

Hey, it was a ton of work but enjoy piddling on projects. I’d say it took two weeks - working about 4 hrs a day. The easy part was paint removal with “Aircraft Pmaint Remover” except that I found out the EPA banned sales to consumers.....only commercial sales. Luckily I had a bottle left from previous project. Spray on, let sit, paint essentially bubbles and slides off - some can be scraped off with plastic scrapers. I only paid $250 for my set of wheels and they were in really bad shape. Lots of pitted aluminum, 3 big gashes in face of wheel. There was sanding, filing, wet sanding, steel wool , used a drimmel tool with various sanding, abrasive polishing wheels, mothers aluminum mag polish. These wheels were in really bad shape though. I think I rescued these from the scrap yard!![]()
Thanks - I really love them! I think this is my FAVORITE setup/look. Guess I have two sets of other FAT FIVES to sell.
What brand spacers are you running? Are they hub centric? I love that filled out fender look just never used spacers. Always worried they weren’t safe - just don’t have any experience with them.
