I finally took off my ugly 122's in favor for a set of 124's. Thanks to the info I recieved here, I also mounted them with 5mm and 15mm spacers. LOOK GREAT!!!
Question...I was forced to leave one TPM sensor off of one wheel. I get a TPM malfunction. However, it is a general malfunction not a error on that specific wheel. Is this normal. When I mount the last sensor, will this warning go away?
Still to come is shadowline trim and possibly a set of OEM sport springs since I have a non sport.

once you mount the last tpm the warning should go away, once you reset the tpm's again...
did you swap the tpm's from your 122's to the 124's, if so, hopefully they were re-installed correctly, if the warning does not go away after installing the last tpm, check the install of all the tpm's again...

Nice. 124's are much better! did you take any pics without the spacers? I'd be curious to see with and without spacer pics for comparison.
Are the spacers purely for looks? Do the effect handling in anyway (good or bad)?

Thank you...
I never got to mount them without the spacers so I have no pics. I got the spacers mainly for looks. It brought the wheels out flush and looks much more agressive. The pics don't do the effect or the car justice. I can't comment on handling since I never drove it without the spacers. It handles well now though...

What is the largest spacers you can run with the 124's in the front and back? Is it the 5mm and 15mm, or can you go bigger to get it a little more flush with the fender? Will you need to change lugs?
