Hartmann F-1 wheels
I may have mislead everyone with the problems I was having with the F-1's and Falken Azentis 115's. I contacted Bill, from hartmann, and with a little investigation we found out that the hub centric spacers which were supposed to come with the wheels, had not been installed, I did not open all boxes so I don't know whether they were there or not, but Bill really wanted to help so he has sent me a set of spacers which will be installed Monday and hopefully they will take care of the vibration problems.
Thanks, Bill

Glad we could help, call us anytime.
Really call us with any wheel issues you may have. Most people don't know but we owned retail stores for almost 20 years before getting into manufacturing. We have dealt with many issues over the years.

Re: Hartmann F-1 wheels
I hope all works out with the spacer's. I ordered a set of RS6 replicas (18" x 8.5") hubcentric (no spacers).
Just my opinion, but I feel spacer's are a potential source of vibration over time. When possible, it is usually better to go with fitment that is hubcentric, no spacer.
Other than that, I love the look of the wheel on the AR.

Re: Will those work without spacers? I'm running a 10mm & clearance to the strut is very tight
Checked clearance, turned wheel full right and left..No Problem with clearance. I must admit it is close, but again no problems.

The strut is a "fixed point", so in my case no problem. Double check by turning steering wheel full right and left. In my case, no problem. However, the wheel mounted on the tire does fill up the wheel well quite nicely.....
