ah ok. so how did the you got em from get em ?



do they have prototype stickers on em ?
No idea... They have the same (I think) designations on them that yours do.. Unfortunately, cosmetically they need help and it will all have to come off to save them. I don't think they say prototype.. just a bunch of born on the salt flats crap.

talk to racing beat, they may be able to hook you up with the labels and what not
Heh.. Never thought of that!!





Oh.. Update:



I completely polished one of the lips back to new. Repainted the inside of the wheel, and stripped off the hurt-*** powdercoat. Under the powdercoat is a really nice looking forged wheel. Unfortunately, I like the coated look WAY better. More classy. The aluminum lip and the forged alloy face don't go well together. Hard to explain, but it just doesn't jive with the actual design of the wheel. I'm going to get them re-coated to original look. Hopefully, with the RB logos!



Didn't get pics.. I was too caught up and forgot. I'll take one when I get home.
