                              Are they actually 57/57.1mm hubcentric on both ends?

                              This could be interesting.

                                  Yes, they are made for VW's which have the exact same hub bore as the e30.

                                      Well then.

                                      I'm curious if their 10mm ones actually really are hubcentric. That would make these the thinnest real hubcentric spacers for our cars.

                                              wheel spacer=cool.
                                              i've been running H&R spacers for months, and haven't even noticed the slightest vibrations with them.
                                              its the only way to make bottle caps look good.

                                                  i am no tire jockeys but i know how physics work and extending a wheel hub out it puts extra pressure on the wheel bearing thus will cause it to prematurely fail

                                                      the change in offset of the average wheel spacers (20mm or less) is insignificant compared to the driving conditions the wheel bearing are designed to withstand. That's like saying you're seat is going to break since you gained a few lbs.

                                                          So will more weight from anything but a 14" x 5.5" wheel, but who the hell keeps Bcaps.

                                                          If by prematurely you mean it will shave a week off of it's working life, then I agree.
