I am thinking about getting spacers for the stock wheels. I know many have spacers, but I have seen them only on aftermarket wheels.
Can you help me make up my mind?
TIA

As long as the spacers are hubcentric they work great. I am running H&R Hubcentric 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers (5mm is nothing!!) on the stock 124 wheels on my 535i. The hubcentric spacers run a perfectly matched centerbore so there is no chance for wheel wobble/vibration. Looks amazing and increases the track. I am very happy with mine.
Look at the top of the wheel arch in the after shot, see how perfect it looks?

That is exactly what I wanted! I'm going to get a set before the winter switch-over.
Thanks Mikey!

You're welcome!! I purchased mine at velocity motorsports. Prices were good, & they came with the lengthened bolts (black too) . The selling point for me was they are called lock down spacers, because they use an Allen bolt to screw onto the rotor to hold them to the wheel, so if you take the tire off, the spacer is still held fast to the hub! Plus they are anodized black, & have the notch under the spacer to pop them off with a screwdriver. I installed all 4 in about 30 min. Sweet! Here's their web page: http://www.velocitymotorsport.com/.
