Alternate source to TSW for 14mm > 12mm lug conversion?

Anyone know of an alternate source to TSW for 14mm > 12mm lug conversion?
TSW seems to be sold out with no idea when they will get new ones...

Thanks

Phil

Might want to check with Todd at TCE Proformance http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/
because I believe he originally purchased some along with TSW.
I do not think he ever had them on his web page so you will probably need to call him.

I have tried Detroit Tuned, Custom Mini, and Way Motors all at the recommendation of Jeff at TSW to no avail. I have a set of rims that are due to arrive this week and need these puppies stat! Even thinking about drilling out the rims makes me cringe.

Is TSW closing down? Seems like it takes forever to get a response. Anybody know where I can source their springs?

Hey, seriously- if these aren't coming back in stock for some reason, I'd like to know now. I ordered a set from Way Motor Works because TSW was 'temporarily' out of stock, and one of my studs was defective. I've been going back and forth with Waylen and Jeff and I've not been able to get a replacement stud from either of them.

Now I've got a nearly complete set that's totally useless to me because I'm lacking one stud. If I'm not going to be able to complete this set, I need to know so I can start demanding a refund instead of patiently waiting...and then I need to sell the wheels I've had sitting in my closet for months...
