          Why do you need 10mm spacers? Caliper clearance?

            You need a MINIMUM of seven full turns on the nuts, if you can't get this, only THEN you need longer studs .

              Personally I would go long studs anyway for the extra safty.... Lots of cossies driving round with about 5 threads holding the wheels on

                as long as they dont end up too long otherwise the nut wont hold the wheel to the hub presumably

                          Having had a better look at all 4 wheels i received from rsalloys, the finish on my set really isnt great. So much so I'm thinking of sending them of to wheel works.

                          So the decision is do I keep them silver, or try them in anthracite for something a little different. To get an idea my escos is white, with a few carbon addons like splitter, hockey sticks and wolf spoiler.

                          What do you think?
