Thanks Justin and DK. Running this hellaflush setup was something I never really thought I'd do, but for now I'm digging it. Once the weather gets better Im probably going to bust out the 7D. Wish I was gonna go to ECFest that Tony planned out, but it's my girlfriend's birthday and she didn't want to spend the day driving in the rain

thanks for the link for the lug nuts....but i know you are running spacers right...so what do you do about that set up with these bolts? do they sell these in an extended format? is that what you bought? or are you out here running on half the regular amount of threads holding your wheels on???

Im not sure I understand your question completely, but I did a lug nut conversion. This way the spacers can sit straight on the hub and the studs hold them in place.

can be found here

I actually think the rivets look nice on the black.... But sincerely, you should´ve stayed in our Magic family dude... :-)
Just thinking out loud: can´t you put "bumpstops" to avoid rubbing? When it hits the Stop, it doesn´t go down any further...

Yea the rivets don't bother me as much anymore. It would have been nice to have them in gloss black, but Im sure I'll figure out a way to take care of that later. The Magics were a great set of wheels, but I figured it was finally time for me to step up my wheel game. I loved the concavity of the rear, but the fronts were never really cutting it for me. Still would prefer them over miro, forgestar and all the other lower priced wheels in it's class. The weather let up for a couple hours so I took some photos of the car. Im waiting for my 10mm spacers for the front to come in and then I'll probably drop it in the front and possibly in the back just a tad bit more. Im in the hunt for a carbon fiber Hartge diffuser for my OEM m5 rear but it's been a headache.
