Looks good! You better put some rock guards and side skirts on there now to keep the rock chips down.

ya - don't love the way those look, but functionally it's a good idea. I just ordered a set of the ZL1 deluxe guards.

One thing these tires seem to pick up a lot more rocks than the stock ones after 4 years and 2/3 of the tread worn down. Rides a lot better too. Those RF's are hockey pucks.

Random question: What lug nuts did you go with? Are you still using the OEM? I couldn't tell by the pictures.. I assume APEX doesnt ship they wheels with any. Currently waiting for mines since the rear are backorder till late Feb.

not sure stock would work with the longer studs - these are 1/3" longer even with the spacer in there. I used Monster lugs and got them from Phastek. I got those because they made a lock kit for them that would work even with open lugs. At least I hope it does! Haven't put the locks on yet.

I got the black ones.

Got some more driving time in yesterday and took more photos. The car really drives nicely with this set-up. A pretty major improvement over the stock set-up in both handling and ride quality. A lot of that is the tires - Pilot SS are really good tires. I have run them before - I think 2 sets on my E39 M5.
