what's the best spacer for bmw?

There're several brands in the market,and I want to know what's the best,BMS or H&R,I want to have a best one,because as you know,it will influence the vibration of the wheel and the strength of the longer screw will also be a safe factor for the car.

I found the Macht Schnell really good. I found the price point better than H&R and quality at least equal if not better.

If I prioritize the quality first and will not consider the cost performance , what brand do you think is the best?

If spending more means to you that you getting the best quality product and that makes you feel reassured, then you really dont need our advice at all.

My personal opinion is that the brands we have out there are pretty much the same, especially for simple products such as spacers and screws ... they should all be safe enough, otherwise we would be hearing complains alredady by now...

Just saying...

Dont buy new bolts. Your best bet would be to but a wheel stud kit, converting your bolt in hub type lugs to a stud. I recently just purchased 15mm spacers for my 95 325i due to issues with suspension clearance

+ 1. A lot of our customers have been quite happy with their Macht Schnell spacers.

OP, vibrations shouldn't be an issue with quality spacers/bolts when installed correctly (appropriate bolt pattern/center bore/lug bolt length/torque specs ETC)

I can also vouch for Macht Schnell spacers, never had a problem with them and they are black.

~ I like the h&r due to the silver color/aluminum against the silver wheels and hub. Personal preference I guess.

They're all the same. It's a pretty simple piece of metal
