|
|
Where do I get something to hold my wheel up? In the pic below I think she is leaning it up against her car but I have seen ones that stand up by themselves. Is theer somewhere I can buy one or do I have to just fabricate something?

| The stands are mounted onto the wheelstuds by the same lugnuts. Jeremy (Garage1217) had them when he was showing off his Project Tc. there's a pic on his website . Ask him where he got his. Besides that, I know some actually custom make one themselves. |

Im not looking for the thing that attches to the studs. Or the plasctic wheel blocks. I want something that will hold up a 25lb wheel.. On Garage's site he also has them leaned up against his car.

| What's cool about them is you can customize them w/ your logos, paint-schemes, etc. (like that Nitto display up there). |

| See if a tire shop will sell you one. They probably have extras, at least the one I work at does. |

| yea tire shops have them. i know we have a bunch of Goodyear and Michelin ones. you just gotta look around. i think you can hit up the companies and they might sell you some. it's a 2 piece thing that has notches. basically u just set it to the width of ur tire n plop it on here... well not plop it on but you know what i mean. |
