nice work D.R.

@ us_matrix, anti-seize would allow you to remove the spacers at a later time. With time metal to metal contact will heat up and "seize" together. Seize means that it may bind together therefore making it difficult to remove.

Thanks Phatt! How things with your ride? Anything done to it yet? I know you got something up your sleeve.

I never came back to this thread to find out what wheels you ended up with. Wow great stuff. I may try that route when I tire of the 214s. Did those wheels feel heavier or lighter to hold as you installed them?

Great job taking it from all stock to what you've got now.

Thanks rh71. It has been a journey but having so much fun with it. The weight felt the same as my original 19's with the run flats. They both were heavy or I just need to workout more..
