If they don't fling (or absorb) tiny pebbles, they're winter tires.

So clean.

How much do your specific Fiske's weigh?

Our dang black cars are especially bad with making this a more noticeable issue too

Wheels are 18x8.5 & 9.5 with 235/40 and 265/35. This is that GoodFellaHellYeah spec. In other words, I'm not really sure of the offsets . These were sized by @GoodfellaFD3S and Fikse for what I was looking for and hit it outta the park with these.

My goodness thats beautiful. Probably my favorite wheels on the FD. I go back and forth between these and Regamasters.
Thanks for sharing.

So, a friend and I decided to wrap my FD. Went with some cheap China wrap, called Icy Blue Satin Chrome. This thing stands out in a crowd! haha

It looks like just a run-of-the-mill plateless 99 spec bumper.

Yes, a run-of-the-mil plateless.....but fits like a glove.
Don't remember the brand.

If it's polyurethane, then they all came from the same mold. So technically, brand doesn't really matter.

I know this because I was one the ones that contributed to the purchase of the OEM bumper that chuck from rotary extreme used to make the mold for the "plateless 99 spec polyurethane bumper". Some time later it came out that the people Chuck used to make it were shady and started making bumpers for other companies (yes using the same mold) that RE paid for with our group buy.

We know this because rotary extreme's bumper template had a hand written scribe/stamp that transferred to the bumper itself that said "for off road use only' followed by a number. Obviously, when other companies started selling bumpers they had that same scribe.
