Technically they are adapters, not spacers. I'll have to dig out my invoice but it was a company in Texas that machined them custom to my spec. I went 1.8" and had steel spacers 0.200" from wilwood for the aluminum hubs, they require them to prevent damage to the hubs.

I've used adapters on 4x4 and 8 to 10 bolt adapters on a 1 ton to convert to 24.5" wheels. I will have no issue trying to break them with excessive amounts of retardedness.

i like these, but DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN- $200/EA
$200/each isn't bad really, that's what I paid for my 17's. I get your thought though, snatching up a decent used set is way more cost effective.

If you'll need spacers/adapters anyway, wouldn't that open you up to just about anything?
A quick CL price check tells me that BMW wheels aren't much cheaper than Subaru or VW (some BBS). Camaro and Corvette are about the same too.

My unsolicited opinion? I like the Xtremes on your car. I think the proportions are right and going larger with a flatter face will look awkward on a boxy 4dr. To me, that body shape needs some dish and some sidewall.

I just don't like the rounded spokes and center, and think a flatter face would look better because the car is boxy. I agree about the dish, but the sidewall is purely for ride comfort.
I found a set of 16x7 Type 29s for $150, but that keeps me at my current 225/60-16 tire size.:cautious:
