So I went to sand the wheels and they were a total PITA to sand. The black finish the previous owner put on was pitted like crazy. I brought them to a guy in Maine to have sandblasted. I guess the OEM primer was grandma to take off. A couple pics of the process:

30% blasted:

75% done:

The pitting was probably from rallyxs and other shenanigans in Utah(lots of gravel). You should have seen the side of my car.

Cant wait to see it with the grill, rims n armour! You get an exhaust to go with the header?

 

[apkarian100]

No exhaust yet, I decided to get rumble first, then exhaust. If I got an exhaust before, I would just sound like a Honda.
