You're giving a lot of good information but a suggestion. If you're going to recommend things such as spacers and tires, I would give more details like:

"Buy a quality set of spacers made by a reputable company such as [fill in blank] or [fill in blank]. I'd also recommend you use RE11A tires sized [fill in blank] with your OEM wheels...use anti-sieze compund such as [fill in blank] when mating spacers to wheel hub...remove spacers when tracking..."

I'm not saying this as a ding on you, after all you are providing great information but some of us not in the know, we either have to try to fill in the blanks on our own or ask more questions to get clarification.

On a side note, do you think the TRD wheels are made by the same company (such as Enkei) as the OEM wheels are? Personally I am not a fan of the stock wheels but I do like the TRD wheels. I will have to do some research and personally I think $225 a pop from factory parts department is pretty reasonable.
