Default REVIEW: Precision European 15mm Wheel Spacers and Black lugs only $70! Review

Looking to be another great find at a bargain.

Problem: The stock 19" MSport wheels in the rear have weak offsets giving a sunk in look. Seems most people on the boards run 15mm spacers so i thought Id give it a shot.

Found this deal for under $70 bux with BLACK lugs for the OEM look. Most other sets ive seen cost double and dont have black lugs a nice compliment when I black out the rims. I have seen the spacers come in black from this company over on e90 post.

2pc 15mm BMW 5x120 Wheel Spacers 72 6 10 Black Lug Bolts E60 E90 E92 335 328 | eBay

Ill install them next weekend, test them out for wobble.

Stock rear style 172 are 19x9.5 et32 -15mm makes an M6 rear offset of et17.

Nice quality product with good documentation. I was able to get about 6.5 or 7 turns with these lugs and spacers which is very safe.

Pics showing longer bolts and the stock bolts with and without spacers. Stock poked out just under 2cm, spacer and new bolt was just a tick over 2cm than stock.

Took for a test drive 80+ mph NO wobble very happy with that. Also on the test drive i was cruising with a 2011 550i msport identical to mine just F30.

Took a pic of the tools i used. I need to buy the wheel hanger bolt to make life easier, and pick up the coated socket kit.

Stance: I am not that impressed with the look of 15mm, doesnt look that different. I read tons of posts about 15mm rear kinda sold me on that size.
Solution: I might put the 15mm on the fronts, go back to eBay and pick up a LARGER spacer and bolt set.

Only invested $70 which is half of competing products I dont have buyers remorse.
