doesn't someone around the area have access to a machine shop?

it's been a while, so i can't remember who it was. i was wondering if you'd have the ability to make some 4x100 to 5x130 25mm adapters? and would it be cheaper to have them homemade rather than paying $300-350 for a new set.

thanks!!

I went to this guy to have my H&R spacers modified.

He may be able to help you out. I left his card at home. But the shop name is Karman and the guy's name is Ron. Located in Cicero right off Austin and Ogden Ave. Huge shop.

Doesn't Bill work in a place that does machining...

but I'm sure it'll cost you due to the set-up time..

design em up using emachine or some CAD stuff

or even use like Illustrator or something easy. Its really simple actaully. Just get the specs of the spacers or take specs from someones then design it for reference and its all done. Not sure how much it would run a person but it shouldn't be more than the $300 that they retail for.

I just had custom spacers made for my TT

I will be running 18mm in the front and 21mm in the rear.

I am sure that my machinist can help, no doubt, but he is in St. Charles, right across the street from where me and my new partner will be opening our new shop - Dynamic Motorsport Company - should be open in 2 months and we will have the ability to do just about anything.

Shoot me an email if you want me to get in touch with this guy, he actually has some pretty big accounts but he loves to play with car stuff
