try your local tyre shop, they should have them for around $10 a corner :lol:

They are also illegal, you should not be able to pass a WOF with them fitted.

they are not illegal but they do need to be certed.

price depends on what kind you're talking about. the ones that bolt to your existing hubs and then your wheels bolt on to them (up to 25 mm change per side, used for putting fwd rims on a rwd car) are 500+ a set from Mag and turbo.

the thin ones (up to 10 mm or can't be certified) should be pretty easy to find, or just go to a local engineering company and they should be able to make some up for a fairly low price.

RIPCO sell the thins ones, they will tell you they are illegal & don't sell them but they have them listed & can get them in, they aren't hell expensive but it's been a few month since I broguth some so can't remember the price

i got 2x3mm ones and 2x5mm ones

i was using both on my trueno on the front, but i had to replace all my studs for it to be safe, keep that in mind

being front wheel drive its probably not such a safety issue as the mags i have will fit the front its the rear ones that without spacers the tyres will touch the struts i dont mind putting longer studs on the rear but i dont think i would like to put them on the front .

oh yep sweet, i had a massive mission swapping mine over, coss they guy i bought the car off had replaced all the front right ones with longer ones, but not the front left, left me very puzzled,

i ended up replacing them all they were all rusty as fark

but yeah, its just something to keep in mind,

my supra wheels look nice now, but when its up on axel stands aint that much fun!!

haha

i get the gearbox tomorrow!
