Got a call from Forgeline today.. fun stuff.
The previous owner ordered the wheels with polished centers then decided he didn't like that.
So, what did he do?
Pulled out all the fasteners and painted the centers grey. Then in an act of sheer genious put the fasteners back in and torqued them down to 80 ft-lbs.
The spec calls for 12 ft-lbs per a bolt. Man, can people do anything right?
Now I get to aquire all new hardware to be safe. lol.. lets see.. 44 grade-8 bolts per wheel times 4 wheels..
Was tempted to upgrade to the titanium bolts for an extra $80 per wheel. Saves two pounds (when used with the jet nuts) per wheel.
For the centers I can go with a gun metal grey color that has a shine to it or a low gloss black. thoughts?
