I have it at one of the best wheel shops in Indy right now, dropped it off first thing this morning. Let the guy know the situation and he said he would have it done by Wednesday evening. I told him I would take care of him, money talks, bull$hit rolls around on rims that have flat spots
As far as the spacers, I did not want to have to go that route, but I am not worried about long term wear and tear. First off, there are several forum members that have used larger (up to 20mm) spacers all the way around and they have had 0 problems after several years of use. Second, they are high quality hub centric Eibach Pro spacers. Lastly, after speaking with many people who said they would never run them and many people who are currently or have in the past run them, I am not worried about 10mm in the front. The suspensions are strong on these cars, and I will only be running them for 6 months out of the year.
Thanks for the ideas, hopefully these guys will take care of it and I can go to the Dragon on time.
And thanks for the idea about the mobile wheel repair, but there is no one around my area, I looked into that first.

Just explain to the guy you have to have it back by Thursday, and maybe slip him a tip for his consideration.
My concern is the long term effect the 10mm spacers may have on your wheel bearings, tire, and brake pad wear.
