That is such a dialed build, well done mate

whereabouts did you source your Pimplites from? I'm after a set and the only place I can seemingly get them is straight from the factory.

yeh i bought them straight from atomlab usa. they took ages to come though, like 10-12 days.

How much did the pimplites cost if you don't mind me asking

How much did the pimplites cost if you don't mind me asking

the price is on their website, i think its about 70 a rim and about 25 to get them shipped. you have to get atomlab nipples aswell and theyre 25 for a rim .
