Great!
Now you got me thinking about spacers...where did you get them and what color are your lug bolts? Why didn't you do the front?

i used H&R DRA type spacers, so it means i have to use HR provided lugs to mount the spacers to the wheel hub first, then factory lugs goes on the spacers

[QUOTE=e90sim;9859094]So did you use the 25mm DRA? your initial post indicates 20mm.

I like the steering wheel too... been thinking of replacing mine with a nice soft yet thick Nappa leather M wheel. Just haven't been able to justify the cost of replacement... anywhere from $600 - $1,500 is what I've seen.
