            Bought them from www.powerbulbs.com mate.

            Prices were great, free shipping and they arrived less than a week after I ordered them!

                    quick question for the wheel whores & deviates...

                    it's illegal to run 'spacers' on your wheels, but is it legal to weld the spacers to the wheels permanently?

                    ...Paint over them, make them look all one piece... Just wondering as wheel places can 'deep dish' you a set of wheels made from existing steelie wheels (I'm looking into), why can't they permanently attach wheel spacers to effectively just change the offset??

                        I think the issue with that would become that if you had bolt on spacers you wouldn't be able to attach them to the hub and if they were slip on spacers then the wheels would always require longer bolts. Hope that made sense.

                          you have then modified a crucial part of the car from its intended design. you have also potentially created a weakspot. You have not had this R&D'd and engineered.

                          You would definately be treated the same as slip on spacers and cop the sticker. I tell you this with 100% clarity. 1: because of my work, and 2: because i asked a sgt at HWP a similar thing in relation to tack welding the coilovers once they were set to remove adjust ability.

                          His response "It is still illegal because the part is being used in a way other than that the manufacturer intended".

                          • Qld Modifications

                            Hi - I know that Qld Transport's Modifications booklet states that "The wheel track must not be reduced to less than the
                            standard track specified by the vehicle manufacturer
                            for the particular model of vehicle.
                            The track of a car or car derivative may be increased
                            by up to 26mm beyond the maximum specified by
                            the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model of
                            vehicle. Off-road passenger vehicles fitted with front
                            and rear beam axles, may have an increase in track
                            up to 50mm beyond the maximum specified by
                            the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model
                            of vehicle."

                            and also

                            "All rims fitted to an axle must be of the same diameter,
                            width and offset. They must not have a circumferential
                            weld other than that which attaches the outer rim to
                            the centre. All rims must have stud hole pitch circle
                            diameters suitable to the hub. Wheel nut tapers must
                            be appropriate to the wheel and must engage the thread
                            of the wheel studs for at least the same length as the
                            nuts provided by the vehicle manufacturer."

                            That's why I don't have any spacers or modified rims. I went with hub extensions instead...
