OH! An actual performance shop in Reno
A friend of mine just opened up a "performance" shop in Reno on Mill across the street from Enterprise car rental. He knows what he's doing as far as getting/ordering the right parts. (He just got in a bunch of Sparco clothing too (mmm... Spaaaarr-co...) Check it out. Hopefully his shop doesn't die off like the others I've heard about.

no lifts yet, and too poor for a dyno, but he does have a really nice wheel mounting and balancing machine that will do rims up to 26" He specializes in subby roos. He and his employee both own 06 Sti's, so it was probably their cars. The place is called High Rev Motorsports. He's very competitive with prices, and can get most any quality part you want.

Same thing.
Although you could get your tires mounted and balanced by BDTuning... but I don't really trust his work.

I'm sure this sort of debauchery had *nothing* to do with it.

That's okay. But stop taking it out on your clutch.

That kills me. "20 inch wheels" and "performance" are polar opposites.

^ There are 2 walls entirely devoted to huge ass chrome rims. The guy I talked to said they figured that dub sales would be the staple but so far they are not doing too good in that department.
