Do you all recommend me getting some wheels/tires from a junkyard while I send my wheels/tires out to be PVD coated? Any suggestions on what to look for? Any issues I'm to expect? I have the brake upgrade so I don't know what to do as far as something normal fitting! Or should I buy some used Marauder wheels and then pass them along to others afterwards? Any cheap options here?

BTW I was quoted about 6 weeks and $650 from Detroit Wheel and Tire to PVD coat my wheels ( stock front and 9.5" widened rear). In case anyone else is interested.

I would just put it on jack stands vs trying to find temporary spares that will clear the brakes. Or find three friends that have a 300A car and ask to borrow their spare's.

Mine hangs from a 2 post lift every year for 4-6 months. 6 weeks is cake. Assuming you don’t need it.
