Rim Spacers

Does anyone know where I can get some CNC machined spacers for my rims? I need to bring the rims out by about an inch. Any websites, addresses, or numbers would be greatly appreciated. And also, how much would I be looking at for 2 of them?

Wheels spacers are dangerous, after a while they can loosen the wheel off the hub and Ka-Powee! Even if you tighten them as hard as you can, you shouldn't cuz Honda's only need 80 lbs of torque on their lugs. But that's just my suggestion, I've seen lots of people with them on.

Where can I find the H & R spacers and how much am I looking at? I just need a set for show till I get wider rims. I need the rims to come out about an inch from the original depth, just in the back. It looks funny if i don't put spacers or have the wider rims. It wouldn't be dangerous is I had the spacers for show only right. I don't expect to be driving more then 250 miles on them (each time I put them on).

I got a 6 piece NSX wide body done. I'm debuting it at DUB, but I'm not sure if my paint will be done by then. I need the spacers cause the wide body comes out about 2 inches each side but comes back in a little, so I figure 1 inch space will be a good upgrade for the mean time.

Well, my car will be outta the shop hopefully by this Fri. JT Autostyle sponsored me to show with them at DUB. I'm not sure as far as how the paint will be at that time (if it's the finished paint I want, or something temp, just to make it in time to show with them). Hopefully there will be a meet sometime soon so that people can see the NSX widebody kit in person. ha ha...I can hook anyone up at JT if they need stuff done to their cars. VNlilMAN....if you think the Wide body's crazy....wait till you see the paint...ha ha....

I got the wide body done for a very unbelievable price. It's cause they needed my car to be on HCI (Hot Compacts and Imports). They did a spread on how the wide body is done and installed. At first they were gonna make me a wide body outta urethane and completely stick on (kinda like side skirts), but then they decided to show HCI how well they can mold things onto cars, so they gave me the fiberglass wide body molded on. As for Urethane Kits, they have a few in the back, but they are still tryin to make the molds perfect where it will flex like ABS plastic, and not shrink like urethane sometimes does. When the urethane kits do come out, I'll be the first they will fit it on. I already have my order in....ha ha....it's gonna be called the Poly Evo line. In the mean time, they gave me a free Fiberglass kit cause I cracked my previous one....remember..goin to ichibahn's commercial shoot....
