Wheel spacer brand, which?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I would like to order a new set of wheel spacer 12mm and 15mm and I would like to know what the best option is, I read the long Macht Schnell thread but I still would like to know what the best brand and why, I would like some help there.

Macht Schnell
ECS
Turner
H&R
Been told about Future classic spacer but never heard of that brand before.

Thanks in advance.

I have Macht Schnell 15mm and 12mm that I bought used from a forum member and have had zero problems. I think any reputable brand will work well, provided you install them correctly. I've never heard of Future Classic, but they may be fine. I would certainly trust any of the others you listed.

Happy with my Bimmerworld spacers and bolts. Nicely machined and zero vibrations. My only experience.

Future Classic is IND's in-house brand apparently. So it should be fine.

I use Turner, All brands serves their purpose however, I like turner the best due to the designs on the backing plate for easy removal. Gluck

Turner and Apex have the recesses for prying them off the hub without marring the rotor hat and/or spacer.

Future Classic isn't quite our in-house brand, but they are amongst the ones we highly recommend / carry (Macht Schnell being the other). They're one of the new arrivals on the market, but they've become a favorite for a multitude of reasons, most namely their commitment to true motorsport testing, excellent machining work, and hub bolt tie-down bolts. Not to mention they are made in USA.

Here's some more info on what makes these spacers special: https://futureclassic.us/blogs/news/...-wheel-spacers

Happy to help with any more questions you may have about spacers / sizing! Just shoot us a PM when you're ready

I like my Future Classic spacers! High quality stuff!
I also run 12mm H&R spacers in the rear.

Can't go wrong with Macht Schnell, the majority of forum members have them. We keep all sizes in stock, let me know if you need a set and I'll get you taken care of.
