Wheel Spacer Sources?

Where is everyone getting 5-6 mm wheel spacers and lug bolts from without paying an arm and a leg for them? I'd like to get something that is hubcentric if possible so I don't have to center the spacers by hand like those you find at pep boys.

H&R makes very nice 5mm spacers. But they are a little $$$.

After searching for quite a while I ended up ordering from Pilo Racing tonight. Their set of four 6mm spacers is $25 and a set of sixteen 9mm longer lugbolts was 45.99. With shipping a total of 80 bucks and change and they take paypal which I just happened to have a bunch of money on. I'll let everyone know how they work out.

I'm interested in wheel spacers, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had any problems with theirs? I had them on my jeep (can't remember, maybe inch and a half) but that's a whole other animal.

Got those same spacers and after one week they reside in the bottom of my parts bin. Now run 5mm H&R's that were purchased from Turner Motorsports.

I am presently trying to resolve a big brake caliper Kit "fitting" problem with my 03 Cooper S. I have ended up with 15mm H&R spacers and 50mm bolts The original 17" lites that came with the car would not fit either; thus the spacers. The question I have now is how do I address the rear wheels which are the original caliper size. Is it important to match the width of the front after the spacers?
Bill
