Can you borrow some Trishield logos to replace the Nissan logos?
The one thing I haven't done was research the logo replacement. She really wants the stylized "R", so I will probably be looking in that direction. The Trishield is an alternative tho....Thanks

Norm, where in SoCal are you and where is the shop. Would be nice to know someone who will fix the hub bore on wheels for $10/wheel. Daniel, in light of the fact that the Mustang wheel fits the hub bore snugly, I am curious why you think one would have wheel vibration and lug problems.

Richard I'm in Ontario, not far from the airport. The shop is about a mile or two from me. My guy that balanced and mounted my tires(forgot to add that to the total, that puts me over a grand)also repairs wheels. Cracks, dents and so on.
Daniel....."now don't take this as gospel", but my wheel guy told me that running with that slight difference in bolt pattern can actually bend the studs over time, and eventualy break them. Say that it does bend them slightly....that would make them almost impossible to balance.Just a thought.Didn't you say that your stock wheels run fine? That could lead back to that center bore thing.Norm

Here is the route that I took on aftermarket wheels and tires for my 1990 black Reatta convertible. I was able to pick up off E-Bay a set of 17" chrome Lucerne wheels and tires. The tires had 12 miles on them. The wheels came with the Tri shield center cap. For less than a thousand including freight I was able to give the Reatta a nice look. I priced out a new set through the local Buick dealer and you are talking close to $3000 with the correct chrome lug nuts,wheels and tires.
