I like the rims, but think they would be better with some kind of center-cap covering the hubs. Any options for those?

lowered on springtechs. The front center caps that came with the rims won't fit, the spindle sticks out too far. Doesn't matter though, I'm gonna make some Hyundai center caps for them anyway. As for the lugs, I don't know? They weren't in a package.

Looks good. Nice choice. I like the slots in between the lugs.

You can bang the spindle in cant you? As long as you dont do it to much.

NO, you can't! the half-shafts toward the tranny side have carden slip-yolks that allow them to lengthen and shorten as needed. The steering knuckle is set to very minute specifications. The geometry of the steering would be be greatly thrown off if you tapped those in even a little bit.

The caps that I'm getting are the deeper ones that you usually see on older rims.

looks awesome. 16's look just right. nice choice on the rotas. a 14lb 16" rim is pretty light. where did you get 'em? are you running OE shocks?

You better paint your drums and calipers before they get too rusty to hold paint! Looks good!

Yeah, the tires have been AMAZING so far. The car won't peel out on dry ground no matter how much I give it. They are super-sticky. Here's to taking the freeway offramp at 50mph! :D

Maybe I haven't paid close enough attention, but I don't think my calipers get rusty. If anything there's more brake dust on it than rust.
