Amazon. It's a hunk of aluminum, not much to it.

both sedan and coupe are 66.1
73.1 is for most aftermarket wheels.
You can get wheel spacers with 66.1 center bore hub side and 73.1 center bore on wheel side but they would be more expensive or have to be custom made. Best thing is to use a spigot ring (fills the space) either on the hub to spacer - with 73.1 bore - or on the spacer to wheel side - with 63.1 bore spacer.
I have run spacers which had one center bore that was larger than the car hub and smaller than the wheel bore so I was using a spigot ring on each side.

The way I see it spacers are for OEM wheels. In our case 66.1 hub bore. Don't get spacers on aftermarket wheels unless you absolutely can't find the right offsets, because they only add to rotational mass.

I see people keep mentioning the increased rotational mass, but these actually do very little to increase that. The greater effect of these will be toward the overall unsprung mass. Rotational mass is a function of radius, so a 1.5 lb. increase at a mere 2" to 3" from center is virtually nothing compared to something like a poor (heavy or larger diameter) tire or wheel choice, where fully 2, 3, or more lbs of extra mass is located at a distance of 12" or so. Then ironically, comes the addition of the BBK, (you know, to slow down these increasing larger centrifuges) with another half dozen pounds of weight pushing clear out to 7" from center.

Truth be told, the vast majority of people that run larger wheels, which of course require heavier tires, are directly shifting weight further from the center of rotation, and thus are severely increasing their rotational mass as well as their unsprung mass over stock. In proportion, it just seems kind of silly to worry about a little more weigh right at the hub.

Basic physics guys.

Anybody here running spacers on sport suspension and OEM sport 18's? I want to see some pics. Thinking about putting some on mine.

Lowered almost 2" on Tein Street Basis coilovers. 25mm spacer in the back and 32mm in the front. You're gonna need longer studs on the front for such a fat spacer. The wheel finish is plastidip black plus silver metalizer. Everyone thinks my wheels are powdercoated, thats how they appear in person. Keep in mind if you don't have the sport rims your offsets will be different. Also my car was pretty dirty in those pictures it looks a lot nicer with a fresh wash and tire shine.
