    What he said... It's where I got mine, and he included mounting & balancing with new tires.

    Got the roller last night (thanks again, Nexus Flux!). Not sure of the exact date yet, but I'll likely be doing the deed in my garage on Thursday or Friday next week - I may wait 'til Saturday, though, if my new wheels and tires don't arrive sooner.

    FWIW - between Christmas and New Years day I'm also (1) mounting my trailer hitch, (2) assembling my trailer, (3) installing my Mazdaspeed RX-8 front swaybar, and (4) basically going over my whole suspension now that I have the time off to do it! Any help and/or company will be welcome!

    OK - my stuff all came in, and I'm putting together the trailer and installing the trailer hitch on Friday. Probably begin with fenders sometime on Saturday, and - if all goes well - I'll also be installing the new swaybar, too. After that, I have a couple of days to play with the rest of the suspension. Lemme know if you can come by to help/watch/drink frosty adult beverages/etc.

    Man I love the way those 17x9s look. I like how the spokes are straighter. Gives the wheel a deeper dish look.. Oh and PM sent Chris.

    Dang Chris, those wheels have such a great look with that specific size and offset!!

    I'm gonna have to get a set of 16x8's for my NA, since I sold the 15x7's that I had.

    Damn.. I've got plans all day tomorrow.

    I'd love to come by sometime and see how that wheel/tire combo fits on the RX-8.

    So here's the deal - I'll be in the garage much of the afternoon on Saturday (a few errands with the wife are possible), and most of Sunday as well...for those of you with Saturday plans, feel free to stop by tomorrow! I'm in the Murphy Farms subdivision, east of Murphy Road between Renner and Campbell - 268 Love Bird Lane. Stop by and say "hi"!

    Got the MS RX-8 front swaybar installed today, and completed the utility trailer (not customized for my use yet, but built per plan). Tried to install the hitch, but it's fouling my MS exhaust - will need some help with this. Will be rolling fenders on Sunday.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but don't forget to heat the paint to avoid any possible cracking when using the fender roller.

    I learned the hard way with my VDub.

    MANY THANKS to Shawn/JDMClassic for his help! He applied the heat and I worked the fenders. We got the rears rolled (fronts didn't need it!) and took it out for a spin. MAN these things stick! Still need a little more roll in the very top center on each side, but I'm also adding more negative camber back there and too much roll would be unnecessary.

    Will post pics soon...

    Hey rpmchris, has anyone told you that your car is really nice looking? Well, it is.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
