do the wheels next time the car is down, and ask your powder coater if you can buy the base coat from him now and save it for later

This is probably a dumb question, but I admit I'm ignorant.

What are you using to fill the extensions?

Yeah the thing is my car is down now so my thinking is may as well do it now. I don't think I can buy the powder from them as I asked that and they rather I just bring the wheels to the. I have used them before and they have been pretty fast with the turn around and they do good work (they did my brake calipers). I think I am going to try and get the wheels to them this week. If I can find 2 more 17 inch wheels with tires to barrow then I could possibly get the car into paint as well which would be pretty ideal.

Well car is at the body shop and I should have it back next week. Wheels are at the powder coater and hoping to have them back next week as well. Then I just have to put everything together! The wait is killing me I really want to see it all painted!

Also got a few other parts. Some of the wasp tire spats from s132nr and an ASM steering hub from yahoo japan. I am also looking at getting some new lug nuts. I want the kind that are 2 piece to help not damage the coating but the only ones I can find that I kinda like are the project Kics in black. Not really thrilled about the black color but I think neo chrome is going to be to much with the wheel color I went with. Any suggestions? Not a fan of the volk formula lugs so lets rule those out.
