They are going on when the car comes out which is when ALL streets are clear including neighborhoods. Have fun driving to your buddies place or whatever through the side streets. You might end up like DrifterX. lol. Don’t get too anxious, it’s still Feb. ---

I’m looking for some Escalade rims. If anyone knows and deals let me know. As soon as I get them, they are going on, but that will probably be in a month or two. ---

Eskie rims are sweet on D21’s. Quite a bit of work to get them on though, isnt it? ---

I dont know if you are registered on [NissanMinis.com](http://NissanMinis.com), so I dont know if this link will work for you. [http://www.nissanminis.com/viewtopic.php?t=36487&highlight=eskie+rims](http://www.nissanminis.com/viewtopic.php?t=36487&highlight=eskie+rims) The centre of the rim has to be bored out 3.95 inches apparantly, and you have to buy “bulge acorn” lug nuts. ---

machine shop can do it should be less than 50 bucks. just tell them what you need and it should be fine. it just the part of the rim that goes around the hub. (the plastic ring you get with rims) you just need to do the opposite. and the lug nuts are not hard to find ---

Or you can turn the hubs down apparantly. Not a lot of work, but they wont slide right on. ---

should be 50 total. i would turn down the rims and not the hubs cuz the rims ar way cheaper than a hub if you want to stick different rims on down the road. ---

in the middle of the rotor the cap that stick into the middle of your wheel [http://tom.actionfit.com/fenderolling.html](http://tom.actionfit.com/fenderolling.html) you need to shave the eski rims to fit over that your hubs are 3.95 inches across the eski rims are around 3.5 i think. on the back of the rims in the middle is where this would go hope this helps ---
