Not the NV, but I have the Double Standard and I love them.

Again not the NV's but the Double Standards are close. The little V at the intersection of the spokes is more rounded on the NV's.
I left my center caps off as I really do not like them. Looking around at machine shops to spin me a set of hub centric rings that will be flat with the face of the rim.
I scuffed down the rings with 400 grit lightly, wiped with alcohol and sprayed urethane body color on them.

Looks great. Did you tape every single one of the bolts when you sprayed the rings?
Also, I really want to drive to Oregon just to recreate your shot at Crater Lake. Nicely done.

The little bolts on the ring are threaded and come right out. In fact most are real loose.
A lot of guys recommended going to stainless due to corrosion.
After I was done with the paint work I used a Dewalt driver with the clutch backed off a bit as your threading into aluminum. Put a drop of blue Loctight on each one.

What backspacing are you guys running on your methods. I am looking at buying the NV's but I can only find them with 4.75 backspacing and from what I am hearing, anything over 4.5 will rub either on the controls arms or sway bar. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Digging the Double Standards. Was the ring black also and you scuffed it or was it machined?

Mine were the machined ones. They are clear coated but it is real thin and I bet it would not last too long anyway.

I have seen elsewhere on the internet where guys were having the bolt heads rust pretty quickly so they were going to stainless button head caps.
As of yet I have had no corrosion at all. My Jeep does live indoors when not being driven, however it does see plenty of rain.
