I have three piece wheels....the lips need to be re-chromed to be perfect and im thinking about painting the inside barrel red. how difficult was it to take apart your three piece wheels? what about sealing them back together? i know its not as simple as removing all the screws. what else is needed. can you post a DIY or 'how to' post?
it was pretty easy actually just very time consuming is all,sealing them back up is no problem just take your time and protect that seal from the tire installer by running an extra bead once your initial seal is dry then wrap your seal with duct tape so the bead of the tire doesn't grab it and tear it.check out this simple post i found

Thanks man,yeah Michael defiantly hooked it up, im loving the set up they bite so hard and the hardest i think ive used them was for the inital break in,they take zero effort to stop the car ,zero noise,zero dust, i love them and for the price they cant be beat.they really took my wheels to the next level.

and to my knowledge the suspension is stock so im guessing its maybe sport suspension
i did have slight rubbing issue over swooping bumps in the road that would make the entire car gradually dip down but bought a fender roller and cleared that issue right up
