I'm having trouble finding them around here- Any local places deal with reputable manufacturers? I see a lot of shops- but strangely none seem to deal in spacers?

i know this guy King of rims (arab dude) got spacers

I got my rims wih the offset of +25 .... so the rears are 275 35 19 but they still dont look like they are that big just because they dont come out of the fenders.

I asked for spacers and he had them in the shop, said he has them all the time.

he is on the north side 144 ave i think, just google king of rims and ask for Moe.

AKA your new z-middy, haha! Yeah, I wasn't too pleased with the whole experience there, not that it was anything like yours. Damn.

Question K2 bumper / Impul sides

Eh guys...


So the saga with the bumper and sides continues. The car is in the shop right now getting the work done. I'm getting it done at Woodridge Autobody off barlow... they have been pretty good so far!

Now the real work begins-

The sides won't even fit on properly they're so warped- so they're toast. The tech told me "I can get them on there, but they need so much pressure to fit them properly they'll just crack." So I'm sticking with the OEMs.

The bumper... it looks okay so far. Going to be "pinchy" in a couple spots that I'll undoubtedly have to screw around with at some point later on-

I've sent a note to the "person" (who will remain nameless at this point) I got them from and expressed my "concern" about a number of things.

You guys know more about this kind of stuff than I do. Where do I go from here? Lesson learned and move on or try to work something out?


As for the spacers- wish I'd seen that post earlier. I'm heading to Edmonton on the weekend Just completed an order from CZP for Ichiba V2s (15mm).

Unhappy

Frick... wish I'd heard that earlier (story of my life). I might get him to take a peak at the Impul... maybe he can get the parts back in shape?

They're brand new parts- purchased from a guy off here in the states. Going to give him a chance to respond before I start warning others to be careful.

Did I miss something? Is that your ride?

It's a K2... they're similar but not the same. Probably just going to fine tune this one- stumbled into a local contact that might be able to help out with it. Thanks for keeping your ear to the ground for me!
