I have heard that SEMA has extended the registration deadline for the Custom Wheel and Tire Specialist (Z5) exam through April 3, 2009. If you are involved in the tire and wheel industry in either sales or installation areas, I highly recommend you take this exam.
The test is tough. I took it in 2005 and I was sweating bullets as I waited for my results to come in the mail. But I passed.
I wanted to take the test because I wanted to get ahead in my career and I knew the test was recognized industry wide. Secondarily, it forced me to buckle down and study. I knew the correct way to select and install custom wheel fitments afterwards.
There are many shops out there doing it right--and there are some cutting corners just so they can offer the customer a lower price. The bad shops make it a lot tougher for all the good ones. So I support mandatory certification--its required for most other technical fields, why not this one?

It was big pain to do the repair, but I learned a bunch and I now have fuel support for any mods I do down the road. Plus I get to drive my Mustang since it has been sitting while I got the funds to buy the pump. Wheels And Tires
