Do the Rock Stars because they use a SLW hub I believe and the SSZ's you have to basically disassemble half the wheel to get them off so if you have a wheel nut one loose then its gonna take like 4 hrs to tighten it up. lol I say that because Danny has them on his Wraith and he ran into that issue at the Turkey Crawl. Just my 2 cents buddy. Wraith is looking SAWEET Bro!!! If I had a camera cord I'd start a build thread of my projects but I don't soooooo...... crap!

SSZ's and Rockstars are the same. Both use SLW hubs and the wheel covers the nut. You just have to get your stuff tight. That's the price of cool.

I wanted to lower the stance of my rig a little but didn't want to buy anything else to do it with, so I found an easy way to lower the rear ...

I don't have a good before and after measurement but looking at the difference in bolt holes it should be about 1/4" drop.

Yes, just drill out the centers so you can access the nut with a driver. Fawk pullin all those little screws in and out.

I ended up letting my wife pick out the wheels and she decided on V6 respun with black rings. The reds look good in the picture but up close the colors were off alot

As you can imagine I wasn't real happy when I saw it, but I can't be upset at him when I left the paints sitting there last night
Oh that will always remind me to keep them put up

Looks like he stuck to the panel and didn't get your frame. Great looking rig, I love the rear cage, and electronics box!

Thats what he said when I asked him what he had done
Thanks kobier, the box was tough to get in and everything stuffed in it but once I got it all in there it looked really neat

Slickwillie, I'm going to leave the "art" on there just wish he had done both sides
