My neighbor has expressed interest in the 22s after I get that one repaired. If that happens, that'll cover maybe 1.5 of them Cosmis wheels. That's if they'll even fit.

Yeah hes into the donks and bro dozers, most are either Asante, forgiato, and american forces. The majority need repair and re paint/powder but that's his business so he will pick up a beat set for $100 fix up, powder them something flashy and flip for 2k.
Might be able to find something decent, my goal would be as light as possible but idk if I'd want 3 piece sounds like more work.
20s, 22s, 24s, 26s, he even has a section of 30s I believe. But that's for them bois with the paint the color of OJ!
I'll get a picture of his pile next time I'm down there.
I didn't realize you busted one, what did you pay for those?
You guys are internetting the **** out of the internet

Did a bolt and ride height check before alignment tomorrow, everything looks good still. Also decided to test my weight research and sure enough the 20s weigh 85 and the load E 33s weigh 80.
Also dropped the shock adjustments way down 2/4 in front and 1/3 in rear. Wow its silky smooth, little boat like but great for off roading and not spilling coffee everywhere.

I actually forgot my reasoning for putting the methods on was supposed to be to see how the 0 offset looked. I guess I forgot and only did one, didn't look super crazy tho.

Ran over debris in the road coming around a blind curve late Christmas Eve night. Slashed the tire and stabbed a hole in the wheel.

So it's not perfect but, I didn't expect it to be. Since its dropped 2-3" with no camber correction like spindles I figured it wouldn't be possible to get it dead on. Good news is that so far it feels much better! The caster was the issue with it pulling right under throttle and left when letting off.
He thinks I can find a set of camber adjustment bolts and bring it back to be dialed to perfection. Anyone know where to get such devices?

i think the best we get is having to install offset bushings - everything is done with the UCA mounts i thought?
That looks like a fun shop. [emoji16][emoji106]

You might be right, he said the bolts aren't very popular but this is all I see so far.

He does good work, it's just him and his wife that do everything. His neighbor is some youtuber that was building a 1979 Ferrari and is supposed to leave with it for texas today. They kept coming over and asking him for help.

These look nice and are cheap but, pressing the old ones out and the new ones in sounds miserable.

with the right sized cup tool its not too bad, but theres very little edge on the arms for the cup to sit on. i did it on pretty much brandnew arms so they came out smooth. 15 year old arms i dont know how much of a pita theyd be
2* of camber is pretty bad, the offset bushing will take abunch of it up. they make offset balljoints also, but i wouldnt go that route unless it was wayy off
