i think its a great idea especially if you have a big brake kit and cant fit the little donut spare on there when you get a flat tire.

Hey Ryan thats a great idea... For show purposes you cold just cut around the tire and let the rim stick out...Then you could have it nice and armor all'ed for the shows... Just a thought..

Yea, just make a custom enclosure for it. That would be tight.

that's pretty nice if you have the cash (obviously you do), so finish up the job and make a clean enclosure for it.

It is a good idea, in case you have a flat you still can be stying.

Very nice work. The rims are gonna look awesome black instead of white, a nice change for sure!

I'm doing something like that. I just ordered my replacement rim for the one that bent and I've been working on my trunk designs for a while. I'll post my stuff when it's done.
