The next day, I quickly sealed them. Copying Tony's technique of masking the edges of the joins up, I managed to get the silicon bead (Sikaflex 227) on quickly and neatly. Sealing took less than an hour for all four :)
Then had a bit of a photoshoot before it went for tyres.
With a bit of advice, Kennedy ended up choosing 215/45 for the fronts and 225/45 for the rears. Lower profile could have been opted for but these were closest to the original rolling diameter and for the amount of stretch we're gonna put through it, I thought having a 45 profile would be more forgiving on the tyre sidewalls. Achilles were chosen for their price and popularity with the stance crowd due to the way they stretch. And it was a good choice. JAX Merrylands were responsible for the tyres and fitting, top work and service as always.
A week on since fitting and no leaks, no dramas :)
So the wheels finally went on Kennedy's S14 for the House of Stance meet, pretty sure it went down pretty well! We were supposed to have some polished half-height hex caps on for the meet but they were still in the shop being polished up, so I lent him my EuroImageTuning flat caps instead. I think they look much better than the hexes!
Cheers :)
