So I got my wheel back today.. Well worth having them done..

They are Powdercoated in color and then Powder Clear

Lifetime warranty from defects etc..

Asked the guy I worked with and the color is a close enough match you will not be able to tell.. I will get some pictures once I get them out of the box and bolted back tot he barrels.

Now for a hood....... and get the rockers done

I would think there's a couple reasons why I might choose to do 40 to match the 120. 1. you need fewer 2. it's certainly the type most frequently seen with the larger diameter flange with most multi-piece wheels.

I would think it important to match the shoulder of the bolt also to the 120 also. I'd think the shoulder length is maybe just a couple mm short of the total depth of the bore for the multi-piece when assembled. You didn't mention size or a post a profile so what I mention could be speculation but I wouldn't think. The one on the right looks like it might carry a "trademark". Yes/No?

I would think it not a problem. The catch could be is that I believe some of the multi-piece are done with 7mm hardware. Yours are?

Wheel centers certainly do look good. They did you well.
