MarcMiller's Build Thread

[MarcMiller]

Thanks Bryan

[MarcMiller]

Does anyone have a picture of their sealant on their 3 piece wheel? i never sealed wheels before and im trying to get these wheels on asap to make sure they don't leak before i go to SOWO.

My friend sealed his wheels but they are not sandwich wheels so he doesn't know exactly how to do it.

[.Mad Hatter.]

Build and torque them, then run sealant around the mounting surfaces where air would penetrate. Leave it for 24 hours then do it again with a wider bead to make sure you covered the first layer.

yeah i torqued them already. we just put the first layer around but deff noticed small spots that didn't seal 100%. so im going to have to go over them again..just dont wanna do it again.

i only used one bead of sealant. build them, torque them, run a thick bead, smooth it out with a finger, smoke a joint, enjoy

Idk about during loo

Rebuilt my old RS's and had to deal with one wheel that didn't seal well, sucked. I sealed between face and barrel, then face and lip, then thicker bead over all of it when put together and smoothed with my finger, it got the job done right. Make sure bolts are torqued right otherwise they'll leak air as well.

[MarcMiller]

Thanks Colin.
Wheels are sealed. Waiting for them to cure 100%. i didn't do 2 full beads because i was low on sealant but me and my friend went around every wheel and any places that looked low or not sealed good we went over.

I think they'll be good.

I promised myself i wouldn't post any Gotti iPhone pics on here. The gottis are not on. Had 2 wheels on the car and 2 leaked. I noticed that the 2 wheels on the car leaked as well. The way i sealed them was retarded and my friend who has gottis is gonna seal them for me.

I did post a picture on instagram just to see if people like them.

Do you have a shot of the clearance of the upper control arms in the front? That's gotta be tight. And if I were you I'd drive incredibly cautious and don't take turns too fast. But you probably already know that lol.

[MarcMiller]

that makes perfect sense

lol you should lower your car

i could be wrong but i look at it like this.....the lower i am the more it cambers in..if i raise it then it'll stick out more. im gonna try a few things i have about a week before sowo.

need to dial in my stance/fitment again with these wheels...i know that.

What do you mean by clearance? my raintray is cut out for the most part...i could never really take turns fast..or drive fast at all. im used to it.

[crazexr7]

I meant to put clearance between the tires and upper control arms.

[MarcMiller]

The spindle? The inner clearance is exactly the same as my car on the sawblades. The only difference is a half inch from the new lip..everything on the inside is the same. If anything its off 2mm..nothing major.

[MarcMiller]

Got 2 tires back today sealed up perfectly. Took some more pics before i took the blades off on the other side.





Now this is with a jackstand on the passenger side behind the front wheel..all the weight was on this wheel..still not touching the tire.


Thoughts? Who thinks im gonna fck my fenders up?
