Sorry, just saw this. Yes, they are awesome, been dreaming of having a set since I had my STi. But I'm still using the lug bolts instead of studs. |

oh nice. Yeah. they're really nice. Just takes a bit more care when it comes to taking them on and off. No impact gun and I take it slow when it comes to taking them on and off more so than my Ti kit.

I contacted Racing Brake about their discs. Because of one of my questions they’re now posting f/r disc weight within their website description. However their bad news… all parts available except their front adaptors. No eta given. Wah, wah… |

I still think that with the car, the brakes, and both discs available, a brake specialist could come up with an inexpensive solution. I have a guy that could do it in a day for sure, but he's nowhere near me or my car. |

For those running FI-R's and wheel studs... what size studs are you running? Appears most online retailers only stock studs in the 75mm-90mm length.
With FI-R's I have no plans for spacers but wondering how long 75mm-80mm will look with these wheels? If you wouldn't mind sharing the length you're running so I can get visual from your pics. Any advantages of studs/nuts vs nice set of lug bolts? Other than obvious ease of getting wheel on/off. Thank you! |

Agreed. Not much I've found that I'm stoked about. From your pics, I think the blue and red center cap wheel pics have the cleanest/minimalist options. Not too shabby. Happen to know the brands before I go searching?! Two options I've come across... with the first being stupid expensive... but good looking! https://raceseng.com/ - gives both lug nut or lug bolt options https://www.bonoss.com/bonoss-forged...conversion-cai |

I just used the stock BMW lug nuts and wheel locks. I like the look better than studs.

Other than their website, very few threads/reviews/pics of their stuff. Regardless, great looking and they've got me tempted. |

I went with 2-piece BBS studs myself, as they keep the wheel finish from being marred by the lug seat. But I don't take my wheels on an off much, so it was the best option for me. |

Got tired of waiting for my next set of e88s so I got a temporary set of wheels. Was able to source a silver set of BBS RIAs without waiting. I'm pretty happy with them so far.

New pic. High ISO, but no matter, it shows the wheels good, and the tire shoulder! These V601's are damn near perfect with regards to specs.
