JDM wheel spacer with centric hub... Interested?

These are MINI specific wheel spacers. 14.5 mm and centric hub built-in.



Before


After


They will be bolted on.... unlike the generic ones.



Will you be interested in for about $180 a pair?

I am leaving for Japan in few days and I was going to get a couple of sets of myself but I am trying to find out if there is a demand for this product here.... Please post your thoughts.

They look very nice, but you can get 15mm H&Rs for under $95 from Turner. They dont have that allen bolt but at this point you may want to go with studs anyway.

Yes, you have a point. They do come with replacement long bolts though, if you are not going with studs.

pfunk- now your car looks like a kani-san.

the tires need to be wider if you want to push it out closer to the
fender for a tsura-ichi setting. otherwise, it looks a little chotto-hen
and you start loosing girlfriends. :impatient

I like the fact that they include the allen to secure them to the hub. That is nice for people who don't go with studs.

The JCW spacers are of a similar design, but 7mm and 9mm spacers.

Personally, I think I would just go with studs and H&Rs but this it is always nice to have options.

Yea, but I don't think the allen bolt setup is worth double the price.
H&Rs are excellent quality. Not sure why someone would want to pay an extra $100 for these things.
