sourced direct from germany...
..from models sold there is all. i don't think there's any true technical difference and thinking about this again, i'm hereby deciding to quit putting the 'euro' in there 
hadn't thought about it in years; seems kinda' lame to call that out. thanks for making me revisit

hahaha i didnt mean to call you out... someone asked me the same question about a different part
on a different forum, but it was a euro-only thing. and i thought maybe europeans got sweet versions of the wheel maybe

Not the greatest angle:

As a comparison, what a lowered car looks like <b>without</b> spacers:

Thank you for all of your replies. I ordered some 15mm from ECS with ball seat bolts.
I can't wait to get them on the car!!
Also, I've had good counsel from LI-S4:
"Suggestion... put some anti-seize on the face where the spacer touches the wheel hub and the wheel so it is easier to get them off; Check with ECS, because you will need longer bolts in the front, but be careful because if the fronts are to long they will bottom out and prevent the front wheels from turning. I had to grind about 1/16th of an inch of my front bolts."
