I need to get some of that gel. I'm tired of the spray getting on my clean wheels

I put a couple lines of gel on the foam swipe. You can get the edge of swipe on the outside edge of the wheel as a guide while working around without contaminating the wheel... very precision after getting the hang of application.

This is something like a 3/3 drop so I think it makes them look a lot bigger. On the factory trucks they look small but the one trucks also have massive wheel wells. I agree on the wheel style and not the black, thankfully since they are all metal and not chrome clad crap with cheesy center caps future powdering is very likely.

The last few years I've been happy with Griot's Garage Tire Gel applied with foam tire swipes. I never wash the tires during regular washes (I don't off road) I just re-coat with gel. You can find it on the shelves at Advanced Auto and Pepoys. Amazon Prime also carries it $15



I don’t wash or tire shine anything basically ever so I was planning to stop at the Dollar General and pick me up some bottle of black in the morning. I guess I will look for a gel style.

While I have your attention are pretty much all center caps 3.25”? I really dig your hurst caps and I do have a Hurst Equipped vehicle

The center where the domed decal goes on my Texas edition center caps is exactly 90mm. I bought a extra set just in case I can't find anymore. They come from Ukraine so it takes a couple weeks to get them. They have a lot of different manufactures and are pretty cheap.

Got some chevy caps a while back, I love that they made all the caps the same size between the newer wheels and that they are so cheap. Here's a pic I thought was cool from a few mornings ago, I'm still in love with this cluster!

I think I'm finally gonna go to a 1/4mile test and tune next Wednesday, I think it's been 8 years since I went to a drag strip not gonna lie pretty nervous but excited as well. Any guess on ET or if it breaks something? I've been beating it pretty hard on the street I don't foresee any breakage *Crosses fingers, toes, and testies*

Like a 14.00 or a 14.99? Anything over 14.5 would tickle my pickle.

What do you predict will break?
