    Looking for 5mm hubcentric spacers and all the vendors I've come up with via google are not vendors I've dealt with or, in some cases, even heard of before. So, I thought I'd stop buy and ask for recomendations before throwing money down.

    Where did you pick up your wheel spacers?

    H&R Spacers are the brand to get.

    From there it's a just a matter of seeing who has that brand. Some of the bigger BMW places like Turner Motorsports and HMS Motorsport carry them.

    If you want custom concentric spacers, the best are made by wheeladapters.com. But only if you want custom--they are expensive.

    Good to know. Someday when I have nice daily driving wheels that I want to perfect the stance with, I'll definitely head that direction. For now, just need a liiiittle extra space on the already hubcentric autox set :yesnod:

    Thanks!

    I have a couple sizes each from both H&R and Eibach and I'm happy with the quality of both brands.....though I'm sorry I can't remember where I got any of them.

    are they different? I read somewhere last night that they're the same (which doesn't make sense since they're competitors).

    I was actually looking for a set of DRS 20mm Trak+ spacers from H&R last night (the kind that use new long studs). I found that mynismo.com had the best price, even compared to eBay. They have a ton of apps....though I wasn't looking for 4x100, but worth a look.

    I haven't heard that ("they're the same") but I'm glad you mentioned those Trak+ spacers because it reminded me I have a couple 25mm pairs going spare. Brand new, unused.....can't even remember why I bought them but they've been taking up space on a shelf for at least four years so they might as well go to the classified section. Thanks for the reminder. :Thumbsup:

    istara - I'm sure I bought my 5mm Eibach spacers (Eibach model# = 90.1.05.025.1) from either summitracing.com or drivewire.com - can't remember which.
