Smile Fresh From Italy! **Updated w/ Installed Photos**

Deleted the whole story, just pics now. . Updated and installed.









I gotta say thanks again to junior at motorsport-tech.

And don't forget your sham-wow for all of your wet needs, because it's not just a sham, it's a sham-wow!!!



Junior could not have represented his company any better, and I will definately be going back to motorsport-tech for some spacers. Just avoid Steve...he's kind of a douche.

I need to give a special thank you to my homie Eric (Ebristol is his sn) for letting me borrow his winter redline wheels that he painted black until they came....yes they are 17's but it still looks hawt

what you do is tell them what bolt pattern you want, and what you currently are along with the offset needed and they will make your adapter. They provide you with the hubcentric rings and new lug studs and all. They will make any bolt pattern basically a direct bolt on

he's using a wheel spacer with a 5x110 bolt pattern to lock onto his hubs. but that same spacer has studs in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

the O.Z.'s are 5x110 stock bolt pattern, I'm soon to be ordering an adapter kit for either 5x114 or a universal 4 bolt pattern, I havent really decided yet.

Here is the link to their website

http://www.motorsport-tech.com/

If your thinking of ordering through them, ask for Junior and tell him that Jordan Singer sent ya. He'll hook ya up right.

Sorry if I was a bit confusing... I was originally going to change the bolt pattern. The rims that I originally wanted I could only get in 5x114, but they stopped making them. So instead, I skipped changing the bolt pattern so that way I could just bolt on the Ultraleggeras.

The reason I want to change the pattern for my drags are: 1. I can get drag rims cheap on a different bolt pattern, 2. I can run alot wider tire because the adapters will change the offset of the wheel allowing me to run alot wider tires without rubbing issues.
