Spacers! Anyone?

[dubster99]

Really? The raw material is about $130, the studs are $30, then you need to pay someone to make a cad drawing from your on car measurements, generate a CAM file, upload it, figure out what tools you need to load in the machine, verify the feed rates, make one, test fit it, finalize it and make a batch, send them to anodize, assemble, package and process the order. Then sit on them and wait for orders to recoup your investment and eventually make a profit in hopefully the third batch. So yeah, not feeling ya on the "Rape" part :tsk:

You want them in 7075 material your raw material cost just crossed the $270 barrier.

So you don't think a company can mass produce them for cheaper than that? Clearly we aren't all going to a machinist to design and build them from scratch every time. We're not reinventing the wheel here.

Here are a couple more pics at different angles. This is with 25mm spacers front and back.

THIS ^^^^ is what I have been looking to do. I have a black convertible GT with these wheels. I love the wheels but wish they had a more aggressive profile. I ordered my spacers last night after seeing these photos.

Looks awesome! Looks like a set of springs and spacers are in my future.

That looks amazing. Any shots down the side of the car? I'd like to see how the rears look compared to the front. Considering a bigger spacer on the rears.

More pics!!! They look awesome.
Yeah my stance buddy told me that we should be fine with 1.5 inch and all fours. But I'm kinda doubting that until I see more of your pics.

 

[dubster99]

I was thinking 1" front and 1.5" rear, or if the rear is pretty good at 1" use a .5" or so up front. I'm also on sportlines.

 

[Mikeg4572]

There is no way a 1.5" would work in the front or back, unless you wanted wheels to stick out.

Yeah he said it will poke out a little bit. So... more pics? Like a pic view of the top fenders? On the side flat face see it really flushes to the fenders?

 

[dubster99]

I definitely don't want it to poke out...just close to flush and not tucked. I'm not a stance boi.

 

[ELPYBOOST]

Yeah not tucked and also am not a stance boi. I'm talking about threads not showing past fenders but a little bit of the sidewall sticks out. Kinda like a an aggressive fitment.
