Spacer prices

[Oli77]

This local BMW enthusiast is selling wheels and spacers HERE (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1638529).

I think the wheels are too expensive. Can you guys give me a idea on that please (what's a good price).

Also, the spacers are nice and cheap it seems. I am pretty sure they'll fit. Not sure about the price, I pmed the guy to ask if 60$ shipped was for 2 or 4 spacers with hardware.

By the way this may be my first thread start on this forum. :respect

Nope. Not your first, Oli.

Linky no worky :/ (must be my intro thread). I can't remember.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Very odd. When I click the link it works. And it works on three different browsers. Odd. (Don't cut and paste that thread, since it's truncated. Must click.)

Just clicking it and it takes me to a "sorry - no matches found" page.

What about 'dem wheels and spacers?

[Oli77]

So I looked up the wonderful sticky on the wheels and Fitment at the top of this section (Thanks to DW Boss).

I plugged in the info from my 119s with 47 mm offset 8" and then those wheels in my first post above at the http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp website.

Results tell me I loose 9 mm inside and stick out 3 mm out.

Does that mean I need the spacers (if I loose 9 mm inside)?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Fixed. Thanks.

So how about those spacers?

[Oli77]

Thanks Marcus, it is my 5th thread start. Wut-Wut!

Well, are you asking me? I like them and may buy them even if I don't buy the wheels.

Found out the spacers I linked in first thread are $60 / pair. A little high for my taste (still, new they would be 85$).

Any ideas on the prices for the wheels, I think they are also overpriced. Non?

The only thing i dont like about the spacres is they dont have (from what i can tell) is the little indention that helps you take them off..... THese are the ones I have (5mm) http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-2023-bmw-5-lug-except-e39-5-mm-wheel-spacers-pair.aspx

Look at the pic and you can see what im talking about, the indention to pry them off....
Edit* dont forget to buy longer lugs for your spacers! Crucial.

[Oli77]

Good point!. I see at the original manufacturer's site though, that grease must be applied between hub and spacer:

"Once the surface has been cleaned, either anti-seize or grease must be applied to the hub to prevent corrosion from forming" from http://www.velocitymotorcars.com/bmw-wheel-spacers.html (http://www.velocitymotorcars.com/bmw-wheel-spacers.html)

If you have less than 9mm clearance inner...then yes.
