Every fabricator up here has about 3-4 month wait period due to other projects.

Hector do yourself a favor and order TPMS (tire pressure sensors) to go in your new wheels. This is what I did then you do not have to tear down your stock wheels...

So, I'm cleaning out the garage and tossing some parts on CL and I got an offer for $800 on the Cerberus Wheels. If nothing else it covers the 9mm XDM. Thoughts?

Damn, I wish could swing those right now. I'd like to get them rebuilt and refinished to 18 x 10 +35 all the way around.

Likewise! I had a lot planned with the wheels I brought back, but "All work and no COLA makes Jack a POOR boy". Still need to put up CL ads for the rest of the wheels/parts. Worst thing is I had a SECOND set of these in 9.5j/11j that I sold b/c they wouldn't let me pack them all out. Such is life. Guess it's not a bad thing since the 8 prefers non-staggered fitments anyway. I miss wrenching on cars (or @least handing the wrenches), and I miss having real hours. I've been switching from 0600-1500 to 1300-2130 to 2130-0630 too often to know what day it is. Missed out on turbo builds, BBQ's, drag meets, C&C, auto-x, and a few random car meets and cruises with the red and blue S2K pair. Hopefully they get me back on a quasi-weekend off shift again by September... In other news, my cousin gave me the green light to build our 24H of LeMons car for next season, and we're doing everything in our power to make it a rotary. Trying to scheme a way to NOT factor in Shipping cost for buying a 13B-REW from Japan-land, since I've got a few hookups there. My buddy Kondo might even get to be a driver/mechanic if I can figure out when he is flying out to visit.
