Default Yeah I looked around alot for the best deal, even here on the classifieds and I did not

see any ads for spacers. Do your 10mm have the hub centric ring protrusion or are they just flat?

Default The spacers were $85 per pair and the lugs were $3 a piece so the

total for four spacers and 20 lugs with the shipping was $250 which was the cheapest I could find for 12mm. I thought about 10mm but was told 10mm was not hub centric only lug centric. 12mm was the smallest with both.

Default Oh, but you did 4 corners, right?

If so, than you got a good deal.

Default

Mines are hubcentric, not flat. But do not extend out as long as the 15mm though.

Default Where did you find those wheels? Do they come in 18x8 with proper offset to clear...

HP2 calipers without spacers. I don't want to use spacers.

Default I bought them on ebay a year ago, I'm not sure they will clear without

a spacer. Check this ebay auction. 19" are hard to find, 18" easier.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-LM-STYLE-WHEELS-MESH-RIMS-AUDI-A4-A6-VW-GOLF-GTI_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43958QQihZ021QQitem Z310037829715QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW">ebay auction LM wheels</a></li></ul>
