What do people think about blue anodize vs stock awesome machined billet finish? Worth the extra $2.00 per set or so, keep in mind once the wheels are on these don't show ALL that much anyway.

Update, I just built the new tooling and machine cycle time is way down now. I'm thinking I can do these with stainless set screws and washers for about $28.00 per set of 8. You will never need blocks or bushings again, and I'm using the toughest aerospace aged aluminum money can buy.

Also, Im building a optional set gage that you insert into slot and zero all 8 blocks spot on. This will account for the ubber anal, and also assure any small difference in set screw length doesn't effect location. That said, I'm checking set screw lengths at random for assurance of excellent C/L location. Try getting all that out of China.


count me in whether they are blue or not i want them
