I actually bought a set of tsw's but ended up being to small, and not what I wanted for 800 bucks.
I actually said screw it and painted my stock wheels while i (borrowed the tsws) lol I took em back and said my wife was mad at me for doing it with out her *great excuse lol
they are a black matte copper flake,

here are a sick set of wheels that are sick as hell that are legit thought i'd share.

Your mechanic is wrong. You will see hp and tq gains throughout all RPMs over stock with a MD 5/16th spacer.

what about gas millege decrease? Also where would you suggest purchasing a genuine motordyne spacer? I know i can get it from the motordyne website but there has to be a different vendor who i could purchase it from for a better price ?

You gas mileage may decrease because the additional power may cause you to have more of a lead foot, but other than that a plenum spacer would not decrease your gas mileage.

+1 on OC Infiniti, ask for Tony he'll take care of you.

^ This

Fuel economy and more power usually come at the same time...it just depends on how you use it. A good tune brings more power because it uses air/fuel/timing more efficiently. Efficiency also equals fuel economy.

I wouldn't say this mechanic is an idiot...spacers help on our engines, but do nothing (or hurt) on others. Just depends on the engine.

So i just bought the MOTORDYNE COPPER ISO 5/16 PLENUM SPACER and the JDM DD dash kit from Tony @ OCInfiniti. Next thing i wanna do is:

1) Lower my ride of springs (dont wanna do coilovers right now). What is the best overall quality set of springs i should buy. I only want it dropped 1"

I have an 05 sedan. 70k on it
