15mm REAR spacers with pics
Didn't see any posts with nice before and after pics so here they are for anyone else considering it. I think it looks more natural with the spacers. These are the H&R 15mm center hub spacers, rears only.

Nice! Are you planning on running 7mm or 15mm up front?

Spacers / Stock turbo twists ='s unsafe wheel condition and BARF looking wheels.... But I guess the look thing is subjective, I know several people who say they actually like the look of the stock twists.

Some of the cheapest, lightest, yet very well built italian wheels for a 911....

Everyone has their own taste. I hate those wheels you linked to. I love the stock wheels. Spacers are unsafe? I have 7MM front and 15MM rears with longer bolts with zero issues.

Yes taste is subjective just like I stated. What is not subjective is the fact that spacers are not a good practice on cars that are driven hard. So if you drive you car like a proper lady then go ahead use spacers. Or maybe a set of these for your baby http://images107.fotki.com/v71/photo...ddy_jpg-vi.jpg

I might agree with this statement back when wheel spacer made your wheel not hub centric, but the new hub centric spacers appear to perform very well.

Sure they do a good job of centering the wheel and maintaining balance issues but from an engineering point of view they are lacking. Like I said above, if your car is not driven hard then fill your boots, they just might be fine.

From an engineering perspective, the hub supports the weight of the car instead of he wheel studs, which was the biggest issue of non hub centric spacers.

Maybe it would be helpful if you gave a more detailed and fact basedl explination, so other could be educated about the risks?
