KSP spacers?
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? https://www.ebay.com/itm/12mm-15mm-B...4/284003210272 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?

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

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.

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. |

Well there isn’t much to go wrong with them, still fine 3+ years later. I do take them off in the winter when I swap on my winter tires and wheels.
