    James looks way healthier and happier lately, love to see it 🫡
  • @badjujubeans5836
    James makes me feel comfortable to be a "car person" with minimal car mechanical knowledge and experience lmao
  • @HK1_11
    The "before" ones aren't even OEM 😂😂
  • @tomquade7686
    James was a prominent member of the VW community in the "baller wheel" era of fitment and style. Dude is more than qualified to walk us through this. Also, James certainly knows his way around 3 piece wheels more than he's letting on here. Anyone from the VWVortex pre-server change community knows this.

    It's so refreshing to have James as a solo presenter, loved it, reminds me why I started watching the channel at first!
  • @rawalqayyum5128
    6k for filled and drilled is wild. Especially when the redrill didn't line up with the original chamfers.

    8:10 Slight correction. Forged wheels aren't cut from metal. They're made from compacting hot metal into a shape, kinda like making a snowball. Billet is where it's cut from a single block, like the Pagani Huayra wheels. 🫱🏾‍

    Adam died a little when he heard the cost lol!
  • @mirfalltnixein.1
    I gotta say, the editing on this episode is top notch. Also, James looks really good.
  • @Squidslife18
    Watching this on my lunch break while sitting in my E30 just feels right
  • @PaganiGaming
    Day 421 of asking James to do and Up to Speed on his Dad
  • @tinncan
    The darker contrast of the old ones honestly looked a little better...
  • @IAmarCassI
    James is looking so much healthier now, not trying to shit on his previous condition. Just happy to see the new one.
  • @StefanBeckford
    Mans was so ready to flex didnt even take the tire stickers off LMAO I love it

    Pumphrey is dropping some weight! Looking good brother. I actually helped my neighbors dad build wheels for his race car when I was like 8 years old, waaay back in the 80's. I remember doing something that really stunk, and later was told that it was highly toxic and I should not have inhaled it. It was the 80's, so it makes sense, and come to think of it, it actually answers a lot of questions today..... I did not realize I am almost 3 years old in Donut Underground years. Love you guys!

    “I can’t wait till I run these into a curb.” 😂😂😂😂
  • @speedjunkie13
    James, your commitment to a marker that no longer works is commendable.
  • @ainmeile
    Those wheels are legit beautiful
  • @bradleyisfishing
    Car looks so sick. That being said, the final side by side was a little like the office “it’s the same picture”. It’s more like a “I’m you, but stronger”
