Where to buy 12mm Wheel Spacers

I see various posts where people are using 12mm wheel spacers but I can not currently find any vendors that sell 12mm wheels spacers for 14mm lug bolts. Maybe it is that the 12mm spacer is questionable due to the centering hub. Should I not use 12mm spacers? Does anyone know a vendor for 12mm spacers with holes for 14mm bolts/studs?

Also, anyone know of a vendor for 14mmx1.25 studs that would work with 12mm and/or 15mm spacers. The TSW 14-12 conversion studs are designed for 10mm spacers which most people say should not be used.

My understanding was that 6-14mm spacers were a bit of a no-no due to the lack of seating for the wheel, but I stand to be corrected.

Some spacers have the ring section on it which matches the bore of the MINI.. H&R does..

I too would be interested in these...

Been looking for a solution 'near' 10mm for awhile, but know about the 10mm issue.
