Wheel Spacers

Hi guys!

Just wanted to share that I just installed 4 wheel spacers on my Pre-LCI 330xi and I must say what a huge difference it makes to the looks and handling of the car! At first I was going for the BMS spacers but I came across this brand that produces the same or better quality while researching online.

The company is called VSRF and here's a link to the product page:

I got 12mm all around. my tire's width are 235 front and 265 rear. No rubbing!

Check out the photos:










I'm very happy with this purchase!

looks yes, handling no. Manufactures of spacers say they make it handle better since they widen the track but at the same time they also decrease the effective spring rate and mess up your scrub radius.

Hate to be this guy, and not to knock VRSF at all (or peddle BMS for that matter) but the material of the respective spacers is not the same. Technically speaking, the BMS ones are of a "higher quality" alloy being made from 7075-T6 vs 6061-T6. Despite that, I'm sure the VRSF ones are more than suitable for their application. Both companies make great products and I have bought and will continue to buy from both.

In any case, nice looking wheels
