Got rid of the run flats for some fresh 22 in pirelli's. So far love them feels lighter and more nimble. Prepping and cleaning old wheels and will be up for sale soon. Trying to decide on applying spacers. Need some feedback. Thanks

Looks very good. Agreed spacers will make the stance perfect. Go with 25mm rear and 12mm front.
BTW where did you sourced that wheel/tire set from?

What on earth is that? Tell me more please. Good for powdercoated wheels?

It is a coating that is clear. It is not wax, but a resin bond to protect painted surfaces. it is permanent. Although it won't repel brake dust it will protect the wheels and makes cleaning a lot easier. I don't work for them or am affiliated in anyway. I just like their products. I will post a link below for information. FYI, If you apply this to Matte black it may give it a bit of a sheen. There is lots of info on detailing forums. If this information is in violation of forum policy the moderators will I am sure remove. I am just attempting to contribute to the forum community.

The professional choice for PERMANENT paint protection.

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is a permanent coating that protects automotive paint over its lifetime! Unlike a wax or sealant, Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 will not wash or wear off. It acts as a second layer of clear coat which provides increased protection against the elements. Formerly only available to professionals, Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is now available to the public in a more user-friendly formula.

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is a clear resin coating, much like the clear coat that already exists on your vehicle. And just like your factory clear coat, Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is meant to be permanent! Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 can be applied to all exterior surfaces. It is not recommended for glass since improper application can affect visibility. For other exterior surfaces, Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is a highly effective, transparent protective coating.

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 can be applied to:

painted surfacesIt only takes drops of Optimum Opti-Coat.
headlights
wheels
plastic trim
bumpers
aluminum & chrome surfaces

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 is an additional barrier between the elements and your vehicle's paint. The paint will retain its color and contaminants will be blocked out to keep the paint smooth and clean. Unlike waxes and paint sealants that require frequent reapplication, Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 provides constant, unyielding protection for the life of your vehicle's finish!


Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 uses a resin technology that forms a permanent bond to paint and cures, just like an extra layer of clear coat.

Once Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 cures, washing is the only maintenance needed to keep your vehicle looking fantastic. The coating can be clayed but it should not be necessary since Opti-Coat 2.0 releases contaminants easily. Use detail sprays as desired to intensify the gloss. You can also use Optimum Poli-Seal by hand or with dual action polisher with a foam finishing pad to clean the paint over time.

Why spacers on aftermarket wheels? Is that not part of the point of going aftermarket in the first place?

And since we're on the subject of Optimum, I have a few detailing products from them I use every time I wash the car: their Instant Detailer is my current favorite, and I really like their Opti-Bond Tire Gel also. Great products.
