For the guys with the RPF1's (@BlaineWasHere @overlookedx anyone else?) did you guys need hub-centric rings? and if so, what size? Also, stupid question, but do I need new lugs for them or do the stock ones work just fine? I ask because I've actually never bought aftermarket wheels before (didn't need them for my wrx with sti gold BBS's). As I understand it, some wheels need a specific type of lug nut to mount properly.

stock oem nuts are just semi conical.

it would be best to switch to tuner lugs

Was in Vacaville checking out the Mustang Days event at the Nut Tree Airport... basically Mustangs...

and Muuuustaaangs:

Other than the collection of 'stangs, there were some older (50's/60's) Thunderbirds as well. Someone also brought in a Tesla Model S and decided it would be funny to pop open the hood like everyone else... nothing in there, lol.

On my way out I overheard a son talking to his father about a BRZ they passed in the parking lot. Was cool because there were two Corvettes parked right next to me so obviously I have the cooler car... right? :P

FIGURED IT OUT. at least for me, but i think it may work for others. all i did was push the piece that holds the bumper in up as much as i could when i screwed it in. i think it was just low enough to allow the bumper to pop out. but once screwed tight in then the bumper sat perfectly flush.

SO happy it's flush again.

Hopefully mine will be that simple to fix. Haven't had the time to fix it... been driving too much lol...

Thanks for the tip

Yes, you need conical seat lugs.

Hub rings are a myth, you don't actually need hub rings on any wheel ever if you tighten them properly. I run them because they make the tire changes easier and since they are free most places you buy the wheels from why not use them.

My afternoon wake me up while I read this afternoon's posts. Yes I know, that isn't a spoon I am stirring with. It's an abnormally sized stir straw. Lol
