Niiiiice!

Spacers black or silver, will disappear more or less behind the hub of the wheel. They only way you really see them is if you look for them, like in the photos above.

I agree. I had to stand up and look down on the wheels to get the photos.

Has anyone used a spacer besides Turner. Also, has anyone else used a spacer on their front wheels of their F10? I have seen one member use 12.5mm all around.

I am leaning towards a 12mm on the front and 15mm on the rear. I may use Burger spacers as they are on sale for $99.

I have H&R 12mm spacers in the back with none up front. Love the look.

You are so right, that the black colored spacer is barely noticeable. Thank you so much for sharing those pics.

I finally installed my 15mm Turner spacers. Spending the extra money on the Turner because of the grey color was unnecessary.

For those that did the install themself, did your wheel sit on the spacer as tight as the OEM hub? The rim would easily slip off the spacer hub if I didn't hold it on. Maybe the rust on the OEM hub gave it that extra friction

I love the look and very happy with the mod. Definitely gives the vehicle a more muscular stance. I think I would have been equally happy with the 12.5mm spacers. The 2.5mm difference is only the thickness of a nickel.

Nice write up and photos.

As far as the rim slipping off, no. But some days I have that problem on OEM wheel hubs and other days no problem. So, I wouldn't put it all on the spacer. Looking at the photos, the lips look to be the same thickness. I also like the cut out on yours and if black extended lugs comes with yours that is a plus. ECS states they will have black ones soon.
