So, I talked to a few shops. Dealership mechanics...etc. 5 turns or more and we should be fine. 5mm or 1/4 inch spacer is telling me that it should be fine. The longer studs is a good idea but we can get away with it

1) There was this guy selling them. I pm'ed him offering him $1200. He replies, that he wanted $1500. So I told him without hesitating, done, when can I pick them up. No replies for a week. Then he tells me that he wants to ebay them and if they dont hit the reserve, he will let me have them. Ok, I understand, it's his wheels. But what was the point of "wanting $1500" I thought that was his counter offer.... oh well.

2) Another guy has these wheels, he asks for $1400. Done! He asks me for my number and the he'll call me. Still waiting for that call. going on 8 days.

3) A buddy of mine works at a dealership. Tells me that he has the wheels laying around and says that I can have them for $1000. SWEET! DONE! AND DONE! Go down there, takes me 45 mins each way. Wait, WTF? These are the regular M35 wheels. I told him, 19 inch Sport wheels. OH! I just heard M35 wheels. Ok, disappointed?

4)Please note, this is nothing against Chad. Just some of the weenies that work there.

So I woke up this morning early, called Riverside Infinit 8am. Asked for Chad, guy tells me that he isn't there til 9am. I asked him about some M35 sport wheels that were on the website. I told him that if he can let me know cause I was gonig to make a one hour drive down there so I didn't want to waste my time. He said that I had to talk to Chad but the wheels are there. I'm figuring that I had to talk to chad about pricing or what not. So I make the trip out there. BTW, the parts dept is done right for a dealership, the aftermarket parts that were there...you know that the guy knows about aftermarket. Anyways, I asked one of the parts guys if Chad is there, he tells me that he isn't working til Monday. I asked him about the wheels, he tells me that he'll be right back. He comes back out and asks if I can come back @ 12pm. I tell him negative I have to be at work at 10:30. He goes back and comes out ten minutes later and tells me that the wheels are sold. So I ask him, what was the point of asking me to come back at 12pm? Could Imagine how much more pissed I would be if I had to waste three hours out there, only to come back and tell me that the wheels were not available. To tell me then that the wheels were sold?? Hands me the parts manager's card and chad's card, says that I can talk to them on Monday. What am I a baby? Maybe I can sue them? yeah right. I just wished that I could have talked to someone who knew what they were talking about. Considering, all the other let downs, I kinda chuckled to myself. So I left a little pissed mostly disappointed. YET AGAIN!

SO WTF!!!!! Maybe I need to consider another set of wheels. My luck, I get other wheels, and then. WHAM, mass postings for 19" M35 Wheels. And me with no money.

BTW. If you know anyone selling these wheels LET ME KNOW. So I can actually get a set, or add to more of these stories.

Holy crap. What a horrible story. I'd be throwing $hit.
