Last time I removed the wheels, to clean everything properly............I noticed that the BMW OEM Alloy front and rear wheel spacers were becoming worn and deep grooves had started to form, in only 4300 miles

So in order to prevent a spacer collapse and thus bearing failure or wheel failure:eek:, I researched the issue and found out that it was not uncommon and our friend Stephan in Germany had made some from stainless steel, I ordered some:thumb2

He makes them in non ABS or ABS versions and cost was Euro44 shipped to my door in England

Fitting took all of 10 mins this morning and we're good to go:thumb

Old ones:eek::eek: (see the deep grooving)
