Thanks Bronson! I am a happy customer, even if I am the only one running stockers.

Haven't driven on them yet, taking a break before I do the other side. The fit is beautiful, too bad Ed didn't have any of those fancy lugs for me last week

They are beautiful! But anyway, these drive very nice. I can't really tell any difference, other than I have more confidence to push it through corners now.

Just an update, talked to the machine shop and he's promising to get the next batch out mid this week which will take care of spots 10-30. I went ahead and placed the order for enough spacers for spots 30-50. I'm doing well on sourcing the rest of the parts and raw materials so they shouldn't be the hold up.

I might catch up one day

Another wrinkle in the supplier chain, Bimmer World told me they had tons of premium race studs in stock when I placed the last order for 160. When I called back to order another batch they had 6......and a 4-6 week lead time to get them back in stock. There are actually two different styles of race studs


Premium Race:https://www.bimmerworld.com/Wheels-T...Stud-92MM.html

Race: https://www.bimmerworld.com/Race-Bul...Stud-92MM.html


They are both made from the stronger 190,000 psi steel, just the premium has a broader shoulder. Would spots 22 plus be willing to use the regular race studs? Cost savings will be passed on to you of course.



Machine shop didn't technically lie to me, they got the spacers shipped this week......meaning today. So I should start shipping again mid next week.

I would prefer the premiums, if available for my queue.

Did you even read the thread? Rotor will be in the stock location after the spacer is on.

These are so sweet, I literally can not tell the difference. I don't drive hard enough to get pad knock back but these feel solid compared to the original ones.
