HRE should be able to dial the offsets right in without the need for spacers at all.

Spacers are are not ideal. If I am buying aftermarket wheels for my car, my goal is to get ones designed for the car that have the right offsets to begin with. The RAC Monolite RG4s on my E46 M3 were designed just for that car and were perfect out of the box. There are many options for the E9X M3 as well. The goal of "mods", IMO, is to keep them at least factory quality and fit, or you are compromising the engineering that went into you car.

...so the flush look will compromise the engineering?...Damn! but looks so good...I really do not think having 15mm spacer makes must difference in the way my M handles, specially driving in the streets...And on the track may track better, wider on track is better...right? or I am totally out of base here.

Me either but the springs are red and on the box said race some place...I had a couple of friends who installed the same H&R springs, and they were grey in color.

So anyone notice any difference in handling with the added use of 10, 12, or 15mm spacers? Good or bad?

Question I'm not seeing here...
Diablito, are you running wheel studs in place of lug bolts, or are you running longer lug bolts? My car is a 2008 AW E90 with factory 18's...

I must say that I love that color with OEM 18"s. I went with 10mm all the way around and that's far enough out for me, but the 15mm look good on your car.

That looks awesome. I opted for 18s on my e90 and because I preferred the look. I think your car really puts them in their best light.
I'm thinking about getting another set of 9.5 rears for the front of mine and then adding spacers on the rear to achieve a similar affect.
