Hey guys! So I finally took the plunge and got some 10mm spacers of eBay. WOW they are of amazing quality... and are hub centric. They are super polished (Shiny ) which makes them nice to look at; I actually thought of putting them on my wall for decoration of how nice they look.
The fitment is totally and completely on spot. The holes are drilled perfectly and the hub centric ring is nice and center. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend them since they are cheap and very nice. There is no need to get much more expensive H&R spacers in my opinion.
Hub center vs Non-Hub centric;
PLEASE GET HUB CENTRIC SPACERS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I had 5mm non hub centric spacers for two days while these arrived and when i first put them on i though "Hey, they are not bad, they dont vibrate at high speed or anything".
UNTIL, I put the new 10mm hub centric spacers on.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The car feels much more stable, 1,000x more controllable, and like it is putting 100% of the power down on the ground. REMEMBER, the new spacers are twice the thickness of my old ones and they STILL felt much better. MUCH MUCH BETTER! I cannot say enough, please do not get non hub centric spacers unless it is your last choice; and even then, try to get hub centric ones ASAP like in my case.

Pictures are of the new eBay hub centric spacers, and trust me, pictures do not do them justice.
Notes;
Wheels are ADR Propulsion Rims;
18x8 with 35mm (no spacer) 225 tires.
19x9.5 with 35mm (10mm spacer (pictured)) 255 tires (will put 275 or 285 next time it needs tires though).
Thanks!

Yes, the seller was EZ Accessory. They shipped really fast (around 2-3 business days).
As far as 15mm, i shouldn't see a problem unless you are planning on running wider tires later on. I went with 10mm because I plan to run wider tires and I was afraid I would rub on the outer lip with 275 or 285 tires. But like I said, if you plan on keeping the stock tires then it would be perfectly fine.

However, I think you're experiencing a placebo effect performance-wise.

Re: Review; eBay Spacers (Hub-Centric)
Haha thanks for the compliments on the SEXY rims.
They are ADR Propulsion in 18x8 and 19x9.5 (35mm offset both) with 225 and 255 tires (will be doing 285 rear next time around).
I have gotten A LOT of compliments on the wheels, a lot of people really like them (and once I get the turbo on, it will match the turbine of the turbo which is what I am shooting for).
And yes, the tint is from eBay and it is 80% good. It was about $50 for both front and rear and really easy to apply. The rears dont cover almost anything of the taillight light but the fronts do (i would not recommend the front unless you have hid's in my opinion).
Thanks!
