Mate the wheels look stunning, but the budget for 2010 doesn't include them :bigcry:
Do you have part numbers for the BMW bolts ???

I have these in 12mm front and 10mm rears, and I can say they are superb, the bolts weigh more than the spacers themselved, so perfect for all you lightweight freaks out there. They come with silver bolts, black bolts are a bit extra.

Some info on them.

Size ------ RE Spacer (each) ------ German-Made (each) ------ Mass Increase (pair)
10mm --------- 215g -------------------- 360g ---------------------- 290g
12mm --------- 263g -------------------- 398g ---------------------- 270g

They also make wheel studs for you track whores, and a good set of RSM's amongst other things.

just came across this info on another forum after a few of us had problems with a broken centre hub in the past with 10mm spacers on the e46;

From Eibach tech services
"The problem you have with the spacer is caused by using the wrong parts on this car. - As you can find in our catalogue or website, the 10mm spacers are not allowed to use on the E46. We specially created 12mm spacers for this car as the center hub of the E36 and E46 models build up to high for the 10mm spacers. If using 10mm spacers the center hub of the wheel trunk is pressed against the inner hub of the spacer which causes the shown damage.
So you wouldn´t have any problem by using the correct parts on the car."

Never seen a problem with the 10mm Rogue Engineering spacers and they are widely used on the US forums (a place where if the parts can go wrong they will in no time).

Also Shimmy wasnt this an Eibach specific issue or across different spacer makes?

[shimmy]

tech advice was from EIBACH

due to machining of the hub ring i guess, others should be fine
