Sweet Looking Ride!
I always drive by places thinking that would be a good truck photo shoot spot :)
I see you do the same!

Thanks..

Yeah I wish I had a digital camera back in the early 70's... so many great places are gone or changed so much here in Los Angeles... so now I capture history spots... I am trying to get a shot in front of the Mann's Chinese Theater... I just need to take someone with me early in the morning... and that's hard to find.. LOL

Mann's would be good.
My wife and I actually saw the 1st Matrix there 20 years ago, or so!

Here is a sneak peek ... I still need to ceramic coat them before I put them on. It should be in about 2 weeks...

Something to double check when you install the new wheels. The brake disc have a thin metal retainer device which helps keep the brake disc on the wheel studs during assembly at the factory, I assume. The OEM wheel openings on the back side of the wheel have a machined in clearance pocket of a sort that allows the wheels to fit over the top of these retainer clip devices which enables the wheels to bolt up totally flush with the brake disc surface. Many aftermarket wheels do not include this clearance at the wheel lug opens on the rear face of the wheels. If your new wheels do not include the needed clearance it will be best to remove those little metal clip devices...there is only one per brake disc. I had to do this with my repro Hellcat style wheel install.

You can see the clip in this picture of your left rear brake disc...at about the 1 o'clock wheel stud position. Yeah they are only a very thin bit of metal, but a nice flush fit is best. I found it easiest to just spin them off as you might remove a lug nut, rather then try to cut or pull them off with a pair of pliers or similar.

Gonna look cool with the new wheels. Who/how/what/where did you get your wheel paint matched Hydro Blue from?

Thank you for that great tip. I will have it checked out once I do the swap...

The body shop that I use all the time for my Charger. They are pretty darn good... they do tons of show cars here in So Cal.
