      I really wish I would have waited on my wheels...I'd be rocking a set of those VR15's instead of my ho-hum New Gen's.

      That is cool. I have heard of shot peening, but not seen it in a custom wheel finish.

      Give me dibs on your New Gens if you get a crazy hair... I can start chopping for the mini-tub on mine shortly after lol!

      Haha...my wife would file for divorce if I told her I wanted a new set of wheels. She married a wheel addict, I'm not gonna lie.
