Extended stud install place in socal?

Do you guys know any shops in L.A area that install extended studs for a good price?

I have one place right now that's charging $35 a wheel.. is that good?

Dude with all this money you are spending to fit these knockoff wheels you could have bought some real rims.

Also why are you extending your lugs? The spacers should do that for you.

600 thats a good deal. Well anyways if you have the old ichiba v1 then yeah u have to extend the studs. I just don't like doing that because then if you want to go back you have to do all that again. Thats why I got the Project Kics spacers, little extra money but saves you the money and hassle of extending the studs. Well good luck man, hopefully you get it all worked out and can make it out to one of the so cal meets.

Installing new studs isn't all that bad really

I swapped out my rears initially when I purchased those exact same spacers ... took me about an hour I think? Just go buy a single nut that can thread over the studs, put it on, put a lugnut in front of it, torque wrench away until that sucker pushes out backward, replace, repeat

thats a bad financial choice. at 35 a wheel, ur looking at 140 just for installation on 4 wheels.

buy spacers with extended studs preinstalled. that way, you dont have to worry about installing the studs yourself, or wasting the extra cash.

goodluck!

man i just noticed i totally butchered the install process up there LOL
that's for installing the new studs, for taking out the old studs just wd40 and hammer it out with a combination of rubber mallet and normal hammer
