I had to have two rims repaired myself. I took them to the Wheel Doctor and he did a great job. Not sure if he does polishing. I know he does paint wheels, so he may polish them too.

3207 Forest Blvd
Jacksonville, FL 32246
(904) 646-3033

Just off of Beach Blvd.

He may not be the best place but he took the bends out of my rims.

Call your dealer and ask who they outsource it to, I believe there's a few mobile companies like mobile wheel repair, wheel doctor, wheel wizard, etc.

So on Wednesday, bzyrice and harkroad and i went to the UCF car club and no one was there. Decided to go take some pictures at another parking garage and was told by the UCF security that Parking services doesn't want anyone using their parking garages besides parking. Funny thing is that it wasn't UCFPD that didn't allow us and that this is a UCF club. Anyways as of right now, UCF Car Club will be meeting at Marco's Pizza in Oviedo.

I thought it looked great. Very aggressive, and sporty. Even the grill was not offensive to me. They had a carbon grey on display so perhaps the grill blended better with this color, but I think the satin trim around the lower air dam and fogs helps to complete the front end look with the shield, if that makes sense.

For what model/year?

Tranny fluid is not difficult to do yourself on most models. There is no filter to change. What pressure switches? Why? Is something not working?

There is a Honda/Acura independent shop on 441 in Plantation on the east side about 600 block north.

Another one on W. Oakland Park Blvd. immediately east of I-95 (south side) but I don't know anything about their reputations. They have both been there for many years.

I may sell my Axis Hiro's for the right price. I am selling my car in the BM right now. May part with the wheels though for the right price.

Hey everyone. Just got back from another deterrent patrol in the murky depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Any meets going on in the Jacksonville area soon. I figure there will be another at the Town Center by the airport next month. Now I need to get outside and wash my car since the woman only had it washed once when she went to Lucas Honda, lol.

Central FL mini meet anyone????

Doesn't have to be anything too exotic....just a small meet somewhere for a couple hrs to check out each others cars and talk our gear head talk for a while.

I have never been able to make it to one before so i think it would be cool.

I'm up if anyone else is.

I've had great experiences with Rick Case Acura on 441 just south of Sunrise blvd. In fact, since I bought my car there in 06 I've taken it there for everything, including oil changes. Just ask to speak with the manager when you get there and "talk" to them.

Hey guys looking to trade/sell my wheels..
I am looking for a set of 04-06 5 spoke oem wheels with GOOD Tires..


I have the following to trade for them
- Privat Netz 19" - One has a small bend.. cant see it unless you are looking for it.. doesnt vibrate.. doesnt lose air.. new rim is about 225.00.. or to get it fixed it is around 100.00 .. Comes with tires with about 40% tread with camber wear.. I will trade these for the OEM 5 spoke wheels pluss 150.00 OR sell them outright for 550.00 or best offer!

- OEM 18x8 Chrome Aspecs - comes with tires with about 60% and some camber wear.. I would flip the tires and ride on them for another year .. I will trade this for OEM TL wheels and 450.00 OR sell them for 850.00 or best offer!!

PM me if you are interested.. I might have time tomorrow to take some pics!

I can understand this here if you want florida people to know for pickup, but something of this nature needs to be posted in the Black Market Section.
