I didn't think picking wheel spacers would be such a big deal, or at least I'm making it that way. Suncoast, H&R, Spulen? The bolts they supply all look different. I think Suncoast looks too shiny. Spulen have a black ball section that looks cool. All hub centric? I'm going 15mm all around based on readings the forum. Any thoughts?

Also look at adaptec, ecs tuning, elephant racing.
Make sure you get only hubcentric for Porsche and definitely get extended lug bolts.

its not a big deal. you can get the same piece of aluminum on ebay. They are all cnc cut aluminum.

This is super important or you'll have high speed vibration.

Also, if going wider than 15mm spacers get the type where the spacer bolts to the hub with special included bolts, and then the wheel bolts to the spacer with your current lug bolts. This is much safer than putting a really long lug bolt through the wheel and the spacer as it can fracture. H&R and Adaptec Speedware both make this type of spacer. H&R calls it their DRM type, but I don't think they offer them below 25mm or 30mm whereas Adaptec will make them for you down to 15mm or 20mm.

FWIW, I bought inexpensive 15 mm ones (all around) that included the properly sized bolts from "eBay". Thickness consistency was good - max from nominal about +0.003 inch/-0.001 inch.

Despite being "hubcentric", two spacers had a hair of slop on the hub and that did cause vibration at speeds above about 60 mph. I took out the slop with an imaginative "shim" and have not had vibration since - even to 100 mph. And the no-vibration is after having mounted-demounted at least a half-dozen times.

The "no names" are about half the cost of the brand names.

I was running ECS 10mm front and 15mm rear. They were a fantastic hub fit and never had an issue. They were a nice dull black that really didn't show with my wheels.

I don't run them now after getting different wheels but they were great. They sold here in no time as well. Go with a high quality spacer and stud (lug). getting the correct length matters as well. There's no need to skimp on anything that bolts to your wheel hubs, or holds your wheel on. Just my .02.

I've used ECS spacers and their extended bolts on 2 of my Panameras, my Cayenne & my 911, and never had a single issue with fitment or balance.

Can't go wrong with any of the top brands. The machining is accurate and the extended lug bolts are top quality.

I've used ebay spacers too without issues. It's just an aluminum block machined to a tolerance. The risk with no-name spacers though is how well they machine the part, mostly the hole that mates to the center hub. At 15mm almost every spacer you can find will have the centering lip. Below 10mm it gets really hard to find them.

For peace of mind go with a reputable brand of spaces and lug-bolts from ECS or Brenus Kraus. In the long run it is not worth your time monkeying around with poor fitting spaces and lug-bolts of unknown quality.
