    Had some CUSTOM spacers made up. $$!! 56k, ummmm

    Well, I got my spacers friday (the day I left town for a funeral) and finally had a chance to check for fitment/install them today.
    They came well packaged and look great. Truly custom. These were made for MY application.
    10mm with hub extender, Borbet Type T.... $$!!


    Nice, huh?
    This is what I had previously.


    Notice the glaring lack of any kind of support for the wheel. This basically translates into "lug-centric" wheels, which sucks and has all kinds of nasty side effects to include increased dental work.
    I sent him a centering ring so that he would have something to go off of. I was so scared that he was going to screw it up. B0 64.0 57.1

    Hey look at that! 64mm!!


    Which means, no need for a centering ring now!

    They fit perfect, and I have noticed at least a 75% decrease in front end shake. (it was getting pretty bad)
    I still have a little because I haven't gotten an alignment after the suspension work because I still have a little to do. Just a couple more pieces, and I'll be set.

    So, on the whole Fred Goeske at WheelAdapter.com is DA BOMB. He was fast, didn't give me any crap, knew what the hell he was talking about, gave me a quality CUSTOM product that I couldn't find ANYWHERE else, made these HIMSELF on his machines (imagine the possibilities!), and is definitely someone I would deal with again.

    oh, P.S. These were $167 shipped to my door. (yes, for TWO)

        No kidding, he will email or call you ASAP, so have your information ready. It took about a week and a half to get the spacers, only because I sent him a centering ring for reference.
        Otherwise, I would have probably had them within a week.

          ooo i love newly machined parts.

          so how come you didnt just get regular e30 spec spacers and use the centering ring? less than half the price and i've never had a problem with the rings. just curious.

              Because there aren't any 57.1mm hubcentric 10mm spacers for our cars. This is a really great setup.
