Thank all of you for the kind words. It's a great feeling to head that people appreciate something you have put together. I'd like to go back and respond to a bunch of individual comments, but I've just been so busy lately. I also haven't been able to get together with Adam to have another photo shoot done, but I did manage to snap one picture the other day. I took it, and I cleaned it up in photoshop. I have no idea what I'm doing with either but I think it turned out well.

The larger picture looks better but S2KI keep shrinking it down. Click on the picture for a link to the larger version.

Thank you for the kind words.

Yes, I believe that is the name of the guy that I bought the wheels and caps from. As you saw they were all in very rough condition but I managed to bring them back to almost good as new.

Since you've brought it up, my good friend (the guy who posted above me) has assisted me in manufacturing replacement caps as I'm pretty terrified of losing one of my caps. I had measurements taken of my caps and new ones have been CNC'd out. I'm also working on having the graphics either engraved or CNC'd onto a spare set for me. If you know of anyone who has a set of Precedeos (I don't as I have the only two sets of the wheels I've been able to find) I can offer excellent quality replacement caps.

I also believe by the similarities of these wheels and the Blitz 01'a that the caps I had made will fit the Blitz 01 faces as well, so after I've been able to verify that I will be looking into offering replacement caps for the guys with Blitz 01's as I am also under the impression that replacement center caps are becoming increasingly difficulty to find for those wheels as well.

I also want to add that I really need to get some updated pictures. With the headlights and the other little pieces that I picked up the car looks so much cleaner now. I really need to get motivated and get a photoshoot scheduled.
