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.

I have tried Turner plus the usual Mini vendors including Bavarian Autosport, Detriot Tuned, Dinan, Helix, IE, JSC Speed, M7, Mini Madness, Mini Mania, Moss Mini, Mini Tuner, MyMiniParts, Out Motoring, Pilo Racing, ProMini, and TSW.

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.
