Re: "Snow white" and her new shoes
First time me and my brother take these kind of shots, we were experimenting 
As for rubbing, it only rubs when the wheel is turned completely in either direction. The studs were installed properly, I knew you were going to ask this
I purchased specialized grommets that seats the stud properly onto the hub then the stud was pulled into the hub using lug nuts that mate to the grommet. Smiler to whats in this video - http://www.ehow.com/video_2328000_repla ... studs.html

Re: "Snow white" and her new shoes
Argh... that guy in the video is an IDIOT.
1) You take the rotor off FIRST. Too easy to warp the rotor OR mushroom the lug stud. Put a damn sacrificial lugnut on it FIRST, then whack it.
2) You DON'T use lubricant to seat the studs.
3) He just got lubricant ALL over the rotor (back and front). That gets in your pads, they're ruined.
4) Impact wrench? Really? Nice way to warp a rotor, doofus.
Anyhow, hope you were smarter than the guy in the video - Car looks great!

Re: "Snow white" and her new shoes
Yeah my rotors where off and lube was not used. Kind of my fault for not watching the vid with sound and just skimming through it 
Trust me though I didn't take any chances with the new studs

Re: "Snow white" and her new shoes
Kind of like my paint job.
From the teeny-tiny images I saw, it looked good, and the new wheels flowed with the car rather well.
But far-away car is still far away.
I can haz closup piks?

Re: "Snow white" and her new shoes
Sorry guys, the pics are really high res and look awesome but not so much when they are shrunken to fit the forum 
Doing another photo shoot tomorrow and close us will be in order.

You are correct sir. Evo 9 MR wheels. Offset is less than to be desired but at the price I couldn't pass them up
