Opti-Coat / Spacer / Studs / extended lugs

I spent over 5hrs this weekend washing my wheels, applied opti-coat and installed spacers and studs. Wheels has a little more gloss and spacers makes a big difference.

I wash the wheels twice, clay, rewash and then applied the opti coat, while waiting for the opti-coat to kinda cure i clean up my hub and installed 12.5mm turner spacers all around and Motorsports Hardware 90mm studs w/extended lugs i got from RPM (thanks again Marco) during their black Friday sale






Before

After





I'll most up better pictures when i borrow my buddy DSLR camera

Now this is a detailed detail.

The dealer will have these stickers. No part number necessary. They are $2 each I think.

They should (will).

These aren't car or wheel specific. One sticker to rule them all.
