so now I notice my speedo is about 5 MPH off. Which I kind of expected, being that these are larger. is there any way to recalibrate the speedo for the difference? or would I have to get a speedo cable setup for a car with these factory? has anone done this?

A good method I have seen work well for painting rims is to use a scotch brite pad to prep then spray epoxy primer then use a thinly mixed roadgaurd coat. For those that aren't sure that is the slightly rough paint at the bottom of the doors/fenders to prevent rock chips. mix it thin and it will not be noticably rough then paint. We used a basecoat clearcoat teh same as the body.

I think you just have to change the speedo gear but I have not done that. You could compensate by getting a lower profile tire!
Thats what I did with my Exploder when I went to 20".

Yep just use a scotch brite, some wax and grease remover and have at it. Duplicolor is what I used on some polycast wheels I have on mine now. Nice stuff really.
