    Cost is around 1300 plus shipping. I'm going to look a bit more local. The guy on here is over in Poland. Don't really want to pay shipping.
    I still wonder why I haven't jumped at the chance to do wheel conversions for people.

    I have access to two CNC HAAS mills and CNC lathes. And yet, all I've ever done is machine the hub bore on a few wheels.

          Then they get no wheels. That simple.

              I'm going with this one so I can hide the display.



              There's always AEM or PLX. If I had to choose I'd go with the PLX just because the setup is so versatile.

                That one just looks poor quality.

                          Shit, I'm wanting to 3 piece a set of 280zx swastika wheels. I'm gonna talk to my dad to see if his mill and rotary table could handle it.

                            Lifetime warranty. Plus I can test it side by side an AEM unit.

                              If it holds up to the AEM then I would, but I would also worry about accuracy over time. I am going tried and true Innovate or AEM with ECU logging in the galant.

                                I thought of Adolf center caps for some odd reason.
