just lookin for a good shop near me that can help. im probably gonna have to get some new wheels, one of the wheels is bad, can be fixed but not 100% and one is just curbed up pretty good. also need some help finding out if they still make my brake calipers and where i can get a new one. ive looked online and find nothing, so my luck, they dont make them anymore either and ill probably have to get new calipers too. any suggestions would help cause im not gettin any love from shops around here, they're all:thinking: and:???:

If you can't find new calipers go back to OEM. I don't know of any shops in your area either. If you put on bigger wheels will they clear your calipers?

Don't know if bigger wheels will work but I would like to keep 18s on the car. Any bigger and I don't think I'd like the ride quality, besides I already got tires for 18s

too bad you can't shave your calipers, i shaved my fronts to fit my rear wheels on the front. Well if you can't find wheels that fit go back to OEM until you can find some rims that fit. You must have some big calipers if 18s can't fit....
