Who's installed these so far? Results? And are they hard to paint?

About 20 sets have left me since November '10. Not sure about the painting question...

Check with Russ (4xmonty) for the paint question. There is a shop he knows of that will powdercoat them for a reasonable $. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Find an old kid's toy record player at a garage sale (use your imagination for anything else like one). Put the hub in the middle, turn it on and start spraying the sides, a little at a time. Spray the caps by themselves. The letters are raised, so you can carefully dip the caps' letters if you're steady. Otherwise, brush them with a barely coated brush; use several coats.

Degrease everything first. Coat with clear afterward, if you choose.

Or just have them powdercoated, ha ha.

I've got a few pairs of hubs left until my next trip to China in July.

Perhaps equilibrium has been reached. I still have a few sets of these left. Since they have been moving really slow I probably won't be bringing more back to the USA during my trip at the end of July.

Anybody still need a set?

I've been looking at getting a set too. I'm just waiting to see how much I need to put into engine repairs right now before I can commit.

I ALMOST typed in that you should look into a set Jintsy, but then I thought the same thing about your engine status.

You'd pick up a touch on gas mileage if you got a pair.

EDIT: Why do I keep calling you Jintsy? Guess I should read more gooder.

That's funny. I read an old thread earlier where Lloyd was typing Jhon to you and had a laugh.

Maybe those couple of MPG's will offset the engine repairs. In about 10 years.
