    My brother has a set of those (in 15mm) on his S4, and they're fine.

    They are steel though so fairly heavy, and i'm not convinced the bolts are all that fantastic in terms of quality either! All the chrome stuff flaked off craigs and they're all rusty now.

    Don't risk it and buy cheap spacers. My friend did it and his wheel began to wobble like crazy on the motorway, it turned out the spacer itself actually warped due to crap quality. Another person's GENUINE BBS LM wheel fell off whilst driving and the rim was badly damaged, not only that but the car had to work on 3 wheels for a short distance before it stopped.

    I'm running H&R Trak+ hubcentric spacers now, very lightweight and expensive but they're the top stuff!!

    So don't buy cheap quality spacers! If you want good spacers at a cheap price then look below and call them. They're a HUGE place in Slough and even i had a set of their spacers with no issues amongst god knows how many other people.
