I don't have a pic of it right now, but I need to be clear that it's a very, very small dent that just popped up a little bit of metal on the edge of the front face. That little "bump" might end up in a place where there's no contact w/ the wheel, so it may not matter at all... but it might interfere, i just don't know yet.

I would imagine that just tapping it down w/ a small hammer, or using a file/grinder to just lightly touch it and make it go away would be fine. It's not really a huge deal, and I'm not even really upset by it. I just wanna verify with Motorsport before I do anything in case they have a different idea on what I should be doing.

What size spacers did you get, it looks like they didn't do much.

OK ... so, it's a little worse than I thought. I had only unpacked the "top" spacer in the box and saw the little scar on it from shipping ... but just now after unpacking them all, there are two that are damaged, and one is way worse than the first one. I'm gonna have to email Lenny and ask him what he wants to do. Sorry for the crappy pics, but it's just a cell phone camera and crappy lighting...

First one unpacked, small little dent/scar that can most likely be easily fixed by me with a file or dremel to knock down the burr it left:

Next one has two dents/scars, both larger than the first, but one of these two dents/scars is pretty dang big:

Here's a close-up of the larger dent/scar, which is the one on the right in the above pic:

and on that same one with two scars/dents ... the "ring" that the wheel sits on has some very small scars/dents that I'm not sure will affect anything ...

So my studs are like just barely longer , like penny thickness, than the 1.5" spacer and i have the 18" split five factory wheels and the backs on them are flat. so looks like they are going up for sale because i don't have the time or tools at this time to grind them down a little bit. they are looking good though guys.

Update: Nevermind got the time and tools now, funny the things life throws at you.

Yea, the 20 stocks have the back spacing to clear the studs. There were a few members looking to buy the spacers after the groupbuy was over. You may want to reach out to them
