I talked to my buddy and he suggested what the GTR folks run: Titek.

I'm going to look into those, but they're probably $100/wheel.

I'm just guessing, lol. I haven't had a chance to look them up yet. Do not take that as a legitimate quote on the price.

Just looked them up. Looks like $25 for four.

I cant shake a vibration after installing stud replacement 10mm spacers. I dont know what to do. They are hubcentric (cant recall the name brand, maybe ichiba).

Could a bent or slightly angled stud cause the vibe? I have pulled them off a few times to ensure everything is seated and no luck. I even replaced the front tires and had the new ones road force balanced twice and still getting the vibration.

If by lip you mean hub centric, yes, they are and do extend the hub. No I'm not running stock wheels. Wheels have been checked and balanced twice. And yes, the aftermarket wheels also have hubcentric rings installed.

Does those Titek open-ended lug nuts have problem with Sport Wheels because I read somewhere that our Sport Wheels does not compatible with some of the lug nuts and cause vibration.

Not a clue. I'll PM the company I ordered my wheels from and ask.

This should be something you have to click during the signup process. Some kind of check box to confirm that it's understood.

That, oil, don't buy from GTM, if you get but hurt too quickly GTFO, if you have a 2009-2011 steering lock failure, if you have a manual, your CSC will go out...

Lots of things

I use Muteki SR48's. Easy on the eyes and the pocket. Some folks don't like it but to each his own. Lots of forum members have it. I've had mine for a while and have taken off my wheels many times. No chipping. If you have an open checkbook, go for project kics, volks racing, and rays. . Me, I'd put my money elsewhere unless your after some serious branding.

Try these to research and help you decide (you owe me on this one)

I also weighed my old 20mm spacers. Under 6 lbs. I don't use it anymore.
