    I've had good experiences with this company. Their wheels are very nice looking, reasonably priced and (so far) have held up very well. I have the R8 knock-offs. If you read the "about us" section, the company sound pretty solid even after discounting the usual puffery.

    You guys using spacers.....

    Any issues in doing so?

    How large a spacer have you used?

    Anyone welded them on to the wheel? Just thought it might eliminate any balance issues...

    welding = bad idea

    You'll never get it perfectly balanced. Just get a high quality spacer that's hub centric.

    It is refreshing that someone knows the movie quotes or that others ignore them....

    high quality spacer is probably good advice.

    I've seen spacers for sale (good ones) up to around 30mm, so I'm assuming if I can keep it under that, like 15-20, that I should be ok??

    30mm is way too much. The most I've ran is 15mm in the back

    Never had any issues with spacers. I'm running 4mm adapter spacers due to the hub difference on the S5 wheels.
