Thank you

That's a nice body kit. You mentioned you had to order it from Russia. Are there any US distributor that sells this kit? Can you tell us who you bought it from? I would love to order the Paradigm front lip. Thanks.

Thank you!
There are no US distributers as far as I know (at least I'm not selling them for past 6 months due to logistical issues)

You can look for Ronin design website and see if you can get them to ship you the lip but it's gonna be expensive and will take lots of time an effort.

I typically wouldn't suggest this but there are lots of copycats on AliExpress and eBay selling kits visually very close to Paradigm (I see some ppl here buy them and pretty happy) so you might want to find the lip that way.

How much did these wheels set you back for? Looking to make custom set of 825M style wheels either in 22 or 23. Perhaps any tips?

unfortunately I can't be much of a help here,

its a bit confusing but I work (side gig) with couple of companies who's supplying auto body kits and custom wheels to Europe and Asia.

so this set was part of the bulk deal, I believe I paid under $3000 delivered.

about 4 years ago similar deal cost me about $1500

prices are going up.

Thanks. Perhaps a referral to any of these companies so I can inquire about cost?

I'll see what I can do, I'll PM u details once I have them.

I'm pretty sure 825M style wheels not something they have ever made so not sure this will work for u but if you open for other styles maybe something can be done...

Yeah I'm not sure why the PM is not working. I've made enough posts already.

So weird.

Anyways - Thinking on 23, pretty much exactly as in the instagram video. I know its big but looks sick. As an alternative 22's in case the 23 are way too expensive.

I appreciate it!

looks like u found u way to my build thread (saw u comment in other thread just now)

yes they do still manufacture this kit but its problematic to get it shipped overseas at this time (they located in Russia)

not sure when all this craziness will end but it might take awhile, as I suggested little above, you can find somewhat similar kits on AliExpress for much less (if I recall correctly my kit was around $5k due to high shipping costs). I believe I saw copycat kits selling for about $800-$1000 they are not real and side skirts not the same but still something to consider.

not the best pic (too much direct sun) but great location:

its about that time to swap summer to winter wheels/tires



going back to OEM rims I had to get me some H&R spacers from Ben r33_RGSport Thank you as always!

I went with 12mm front and 15mm back, 12mm on front is ok, I would go wider spacers on the back but since I'm using studs 15mm is the widest a I can go.

just a note for the pic below, car in the loading position plus its lowered:









and this is how the OEM rims look with spacers and studs:



couple more pics:






Taking a break from mods until Spring I guess (gotta love New England weather), but we'll see some more in the Spring

thanks for looking, until next time

Thank you, this set from Raceseng they have same size for front and back based on model, unlike MRG where there are more options from what I remember
Installed it this summer no complaints, also no issues while changing wheels today
