For those of you that suggested that I swap out my black chrome Rattlers for the black Sidewinder II's, thanks. I just got back from Myrtle Beach, and unbeknownst to me, there was a huge car show going on. I wasn't entered, but based on everyone's reaction to the car, I should have. In fact, my daughter just told me that there are several pictures on the internet of me driving the car around town.

As the title says, I also have the Tomball spring caps, and 3/8" spacers.

Thanks for sharing those pics.

The wheel change is great from the rattlers.

My one of one is anodized carbon with adv. aero package. I have the caps and the spacers for when it gets here. I ordered mine with Venom Matte wheels. I will share pics when I get it all set up.

Anyone have caps and spacers with venom wheels?

1.5 to 2 for the front and rear. Prior to the caps, around 3.

I think yours might be a tad lower than mine.

Both look great.

Can someone post a front picture with the wheels straight/not turned.

Trying to tell how much visual impact the front spacers have.

Thanks.

Those are the wheels the car should have come with.

The TA/GTS version did. If I would have known that they made that version of the car (10 out of the 50 carbon editions) I would have just bought one of them. I guess I didn't do enough homework.

Just to clarify; spacers only on the front?

Looks much better with the Sidewinders. I don't think the Rattlers do much for a Gen V.

How many turns can you still get on the wheel nuts with the 3/8" spacers?

With spacers you need to order long neck lug nuts. Got mine from JonB at Partsrack who has them along with the spacers.

I also got the long neck lug nuts, so I would say that I am still covering the same amount of threads as I would without the spacers.
