Cool anth.
By the time you finish them all the first one will need doing againSarcasm is easily calculated on vortex dude. Take 4 parts GLI lip and divide by BBS RS. If you are left with a remainder, subtract it from omgmoarlow. Profit.

I don't envy you either, but I think it's great to be able to say you did it yourself!
I even cringe when I see people polish their own lips(let alone centres)....I've got a great polisher that's so reasonably priced, I can't imagine doing it myself.

I still get new lips repolished(for $20, why not) as I don't think the finish is that great usually. Especially if I'm using OEM lips for 2 of the wheels and getting them freshly polished, because they then look way better, so the aftermarket ones need to match.

I just had a brain fart...
I used to own a set of Modena's, with all the caps, nuts, centres and spring clips... Paid $70 for them on eBay a few years ago and couldn't get them drilled to 5x98. I'v since half converted the Alfa to 5x114.3 and now regret giving the Modena's to my brother who just sold them anyway... So every set I see has no centre caps etc... I work and program a CNC. Has anyone got all the caps etc and gear to take accurate measurements?
Only problem is I don't have access to a lot of alu' so everything would be in 316SS, nice and shiny!
I could machine the nut and centre caps [No Auto Strada wording though...], but I'd make 2 part press to make the plate/cap from flat sheet.
Anyone want to keep me interested at work?

Usually still have plate and hex though don't theySarcasm is easily calculated on vortex dude. Take 4 parts GLI lip and divide by BBS RS. If you are left with a remainder, subtract it from omgmoarlow. Profit.

Yeah badge and pin are usually gone, but still, most sets I see for sale have caps and nut missing. Just seen a set on ebay missing the lot and had the idea.
