Yeah I have the Ichiba 10mm spacers as well, i am still debating though because they are the type with the longer studs and those are a pain to install. Finding bolt on 10mm for a decent price is hard.

wheels look nice, great choice with the red. I should hopefully have my stance installed on the 20th, can't wait to be in the static drop club again

Yeah, I almost went with the black but to me silver just looks better on VR. VR with black wheels has been done to death.

hey SA peeps, just a heads up that Baller Bolts moved from AZ to yo' town now, if you're interested in titanium hardware etc. they're worth checking out, Ryan hooked me up on my car and is awesome to work with, he won't seel you stuff you don't need or can't use etc. I found this out recently as I'm getting burnt ti hardware for my Stance

www.ballerbolts.com

p.s., if you need any install pics let me know, I've got some shots of my fenders etc. if anyone wants to get an idea.

Here's a few off my phone, I can email the huge ones if you pm me where to send them, had to shrink them down to fit. These are the "burnt" ones, they offer a couple of other colors as well. They "burn" each piece individually by hand as well as tint the washers to match.
Just on a sidenote, I'm not getting any kind of a magic deal or discount for mentioning this, I just had a really positive experience with Ryan saving me about 20-30 bucks in shipping while we were building the car for Sema. He called me on my cellphone on a Sunday to correct a shipping preference I had chosen, he could have easily just let it go and pocketed the extra cash but instead he chose to call and explain everything and double check the order etc etc. I don't know of ANY other company that would have done that. I'd recommend going with the washers if you go this route also, they match nicely and really give it a finished look.

edit: I've done under the hood, the hood itself, and the trunk as they make nuts as well. I don't have any good pics of that I don't think, but I'll take some if interested, you also might be able to see some of that in the youtube vids in my sig.

I took one of my bolts to an autozone for starters, then I contacted ballerbolts via email and we figure it out from there. They actually offer a kit for our car, but in speaking with them I just ordered random individual ones when I had the money/need/etc. From what I learned a lot of the imports use similar threads, so really all that was left was deciding on lengths etc.

Alright SARX peeps..... its that time of the year again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to wash your car, shine it up real nice, and head on out to Biff's Friday night cruise.

Starting tomorrow and just about every Friday from here on out we will heading out to Biff's for a weekly meet up. Dont forget to bring your chairs and your beverages. For those that have never been, there is a 5 buck cover but you also get a 5 buck coupon to Biff's.

Maybe we can even get Kevo to show up


Oh yeah... and while we are there we can discuss the Pre/Post Texas 8 BBQ we will be hosting at the house for those SARX members that will be making the morning drive up.
