All DG Diamond Graphite Coupes POST PICS!
Yeah, I've looked at those, but I'm concerned about placing a lot of the stress of holding the wheel on to a single 20mm disc of aluminum. With wheel adapters (which is essentially what the Ichiba v2 and H&R DRM are) you transfer much of the cornering load off of the wheel hub and onto the spacer. A risky proposition IMHO. Probably nothing would ever happen, but I don't really want to take that chance.
And though many don't do it, you really should adjust the alignment after installing these because it alters the scrub radius of the car, which definitely can influence camber and toe changes under braking. Yes, aftermarket wheels w/more aggressive offsets can do that too, but I'm just not sure I want to bother with all that.

I've definitely had my fair share of tossing my car around with spacers, doesn't feel any different to me, and no problems yet.
In order to safely run spacers, you NEED to run hubcentric rings. Placing the weight of the car on any type of stud is a fail; they were not designed to hold that much weight. The hubcentric rings extend the ring on the hub out, equal to the length of the spacer so the wheels will still put their weight on the hub.
henry: lol where you been at man.
Kon: lol i want to, but i might just sell the wheels since i want those forgestars that i posted.

++1, plus I would make sure any aftermarket wheels have the same hub bore size. Those so-called universal 5-lug pattern, or wheels that are made for different cars other than your own, may have a larger hub bore. This would be the same thing has putting weight on the studs itself and depletes the purpose of the hubcentric spacers
