I am on a Yahoo Vmax group for ontario. Some of the guys are doing a tech day this weekend, they may be able to help. Check out https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Vmax-owners-Ontario Ask to join and I am pretty sure there are quite a few guys up near you. Hope you get it sorted.

Where are you in Ontario?

Check out this youtube video, the guy does a good job on his car rims, might be an idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W9jn90VEAY
