I have the lifetime allignment package from Tires Plus. We have an excellent location that is owned by the corporation. (I can't recommend the franchise locations from the times I have been to them).

Think it cost around $150 for unlimited 4-wheel computer allignment.

3-year allignment is a good deal too for those that don't plan on keeping the car for long.

I get my alignment by a shop called west end alignment here in gardena cali. He is one of the few that still does everything by hand, no computer mumbo jumbo. He does the majority of the s2000's, subie's and evo's here as well. He also does suspension setups for scca racers and club racers. Highly reccomended for anyone in so cali.

making your car even, steering more responsive, steering straight, and saving money from having to replace your tires every so often. also an alignment can greatly affect the way the car is driven, important if you race/track.

ultimately to extend the life of your tires, make sure everything is up to par. If your alignment is not corrected you can put yourself and others in serious danger...

Volk and Ray's

Dee it says volk AND rays on your wheels heh. Why did you say that me saying my wheels were volk was wrong?

Anyway I really like that all black look. Is there a way for me to get just the black lip for my wheel? can I get the same lip as you? cause it seems like the lip may be the same... still no reply from the site you sent me.

Thanks

your wheels use to be manufactured by rays, under g-games, but now made by rojas.

Wow confusing... well I am a total newb seeing as how these came on the car. I am not afraid to admit that.

Anyway... that site replyed saying no luck on the lips they said "it would be a liability" to them if they weren't installed in japan in the factory there by ray's professionals... I think thats a bunch of BS cause why would you tell me I could get it and why would they make them that way... if you know any other way I can get black lips let me know

It was a suggestion, I don't work for that company so I wasn't 100% for sure if it was even possible. They can do that for most RAY's wheels but unfortunately not yours.
