John, Just how common is the 4x100mm pattern, like what modern vehicles use it (VW, Mazda, Ford, ...)? Please keep us updated on any rims/manufacturers you come up with that meet the proper offset requirements and rim widths. I would like to get new rims that are spoked so my rotors can cool off better. The racing rims are very nice but don't allow enough air flow to help keep the rotors cool under heavy use like the stock rims. Plus I'd be able to better show off my cross-drilled rotors <grunt grunt> :) When securing the studs to my hubs/rotors I now use the red fluid LocTite to lock them in. A very light coat of anti-seize on the lug nut end to keep them from rusting on. Oh, be sure to buy a set of locking lug nuts to protect your rims! Check to see if the rims require washers, I know mine does (fits between the lug nut and rim face).
