    Looks good!

    Always wanted to ask- Do you notice odd treadwear on your back tires with the angle they ride at?

    Nah, I've been running "excessive" camber for 2 or 3 years now on MINIs without any ridiculous wear problems. They do wear a bit which is to be expected. Toe is a much larger culprit of eating tires than camber.

    It probably helps that I never keep wheels/tire for more than a year though:lol:

    Wish I could afford to be such a wheel whore.
    What process did you use to get the actual wood-grain effect?

    Rally, heck of job there. Yours and Flamez' have to be the best examples of tastefully modded Clubbies in the states.

    That is some incredible work. Given the process, I have to ask... how long did that take?

    No homo but it's hard to deny, Rally has the best rear end of probably anyone on here.

    I HATE woodgrain, but I really like what you have done.

    Great Job!
