ECS Wheel Spacers / Anyone use them?
Has anyone used the ECS 10mm Wheel Spacers? Are you pleased?
They appear to be hubcentric and ECS lists a specific application for RS4's and provides ball end wheel studs in the kit. ($99 per axle)
Previously I've used hubcentric H&R spacers on my Porsche 951 race car at speeds in excess of 140 mph without "vibration" so I'm not sure I'm believeing the vibration issues especially if the spacer is hubcentric and the mounting surfaces are completly void of dirt and debris. Unfortunately, H&R does not make the 10mm size needed. I've read on this forum about MTM spacers but at ~$400 that seems excessive. If I'm missing something please enlighten me! Thanks / 0260

I read somewhere (either here or another audi forum)that there was a "group buy" for $345 or regular price was $395. Incl with the udes 4 spacers and all wheel bolts. I'm thinking thats way too expensive for spacers and bolts! Hoping folks have had good experience with the ECS spacers?

Seems like all the longer wheel bolts with the spacer kits are silver. My car has the Ti wheels. Does anyone know where you can get black or titanium color wheel bolts?
