Call Chris at Elite Importz in Laurel, MD. 301 604 5004. He's on 198 between BW Pkwy and Ft. Meade and does great work.

racinghart is a japanese thing, same company actually makes lowenhart (my last set of wheels that were like 6k) which is completely by coincidence btw.

yes, i was looking at those before i realized the cost. are the ones you just picked up racinghart? it's hard to tell from the pic, but that is what they look like. nice rear lip for a 19" wheel. can't wait to see your pics. just saw your latest post - let me know what you think/how things turned out in regards to the rolling/shaving. if they do good work, the price is great.

i just stopped by that elite shop, thanks cherplex. i didn't get my fenders rolled because i don't really need it, but i am going to go with chris's recommendation of 10mm spacers at some point then i will have to roll the fenders. so i think i just found my new favorite car shop.

they said they are having a bbq this sat starting at 4pm and to let the lex crew know about it. i'll start a new thread with the info.

yeah this was my first inclination as well, but i guess when the spacers make their debut then the fenders shall get shaved. mann you guys should see what it looked like slammed on those new(er) wheels.

No problem, Chris does good work. I will probably be at the bbq but my car is still down so I'll be in the beater
