I came across these KSP wheel spacers on ebay, they are a fraction of the cost of the popular brands.

Good deal or run away?

It's just a piece of aluminum, as long as it's balanced and there's no vibration, shouldn't they be good or am I missing something? I'm all for buying quality, but not spending money just for the sake of it.

I can't tell if I asked a really dumb question and everyone is just being nice or no one else has seen these spacers?

not a dumb question. minimal response is more likely due nobody knowing anything about them. imo, they look well enough.

maybe you can "take one for the team" and try them out for the group?

I just might have to do that!

I am looking into buying these as well. I've used another eBay brand spacer on my e92 and they were on there for 4/5 years without any problems.

I ordered a set. We'll see how it goes.

I run these on the daily driver with no issues at all. I would say quality is pretty good, but find some of the edges sharp to the touch so be careful. I do like the bigger cut out holes and the notches for easy removal. Also, with the 12mm spacers I run, they clear the hub that protrudes further than previous Bmw's. I tried running name brand 12mm spacers prior but had issue where the spacer would not sit on the hub face due to the longer hub. With that said, I am using my own bolts purchased else where and check torque regularly..

Mine just showed up today. I won't be putting them on until I put in the new springs and swap in the summer wheels

sub'd. I am looking to do the same size spacers on my OEM staggered 19's when the cold weather is gone. looking forward to seeing how this goes. How will you know if they are balanced properly?

[damack]

I'd say go for a drive and see if there is vibration.

I finally put these on with my winter wheel change this weekend. They fit perfect, no play at all and no vibration. I used 12mm for the front and 15mm rear and it suits my F31 with the 403 staggered setup well. I can't see a reason for paying double.

What size wheels and tires?

It's the stock BMW staggered wheels/tires.

FWIW, generally for a spacer, it's more about how it sits on the hub... like a perfect fit, and does it have a nice lip to hold the stock wheel in place. CNC aluminum isn't going to be off-balanced, and especially since it's center of the wheel versus being on the outside.

The BIGGER concern is the bolts. Obviously you need longer bolts and of good/high quality.

But same, ran a set of Stanceworks spacers which really looked THE same as every other vendor (hole cuts, polish, etc.) for close to 1 year with REALLY aggressive driving.
ZERO issues with alignment or balance.

No issues at all, no complaints

Thanks. I will be installing 12mm front and rear next week, will share an update.
