i thought you couldnt take the face apart from the barrel because the torque specs arent released for the screws when putting back together
could someone verify this? I'm curious as well.



Beerme, I was thinking of gloss black as well. or maybe just stripping the matte black paint off and go brushed aluminum.

My color is amethyst graphite. see your from philly too

I just bought the wheels so I dont want to repaint them. Plus we paid extra for the phantoms so repainting them would kind of defeat the purpose.

As for the torque ratings, I heard Mackin and Volk do not release them. not sure why and not sure how critical it is to get it right. As long as they are super tight I would imagine they are ok (but I wouldnt take chances on wheels)

has anyone ever gotten their curb rash fixed? Mine isnt bad I am still hesitant on getting it professionally done. I highly doubt they would be able to spray a section of the wheel and get the phantom color spot on
