Oh to live in the States.

I contacted one of the biggest suppliers of wheels and upgrades, with
regard for new wheels without spacers. They said they had done a couple
of wide body kits and they varied slightly, so it would mean making custom
wheels which would be very expensive. They said they could fit some new
wheels but they would still need spacers...sigh.

Spend the damn money on custom wheels and stop starting new threads so you can whine.

It's impossible to get wheels in the uk.
So far the only wheel shop says you must get them
Custom made. It is too expensive they say, but they
Said what's wrong with spacers.
You don't realise how easy it is in the States.
That goes for every thing, not just wheels.

These guys should be able to help you get custom rims on a budget. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPDV6-17-18-...lTOmnm&vxp=mtr

You will need custom rims regardless of where you live for your widebody.

You guys always whining about someone else's post really crack me up. If you are not a Mod or own the website you ought to think about not being concerned with things that don't concern you.

So why are you whining about what I wrote? Take some of your own advice.

Snowflake & Buttercup? Have I wandered into a "My Little Pony" forum by mistake?
