My sportvan does not have spacers, maybe its because of the higher profile tyres that are being fitted. The sportvan rims are not too durable as very easy to damage and get very dirty, I hear that steel wheels with aerodynamic covers are the next big thing in wheels.

its the alloys themselves that came with the spacers

Strange as mine don't have these and the spare wheel I bought came with no spaces.

Well today I felt like doing this on several occasions

Phone call from machinists at 12 to say that was everything ready. Got there at 1 and they arsed up my order. I asked them to cut out the spigot from the spacer and put the spigots aside and the bin the old spacers. No, no they actually binned the spigots and kept the spacers :evil:

So now I'm gonna have to wait till late tomorrow afternoon or sometime friday and there going to re-make the spigots from scratch and I had to give them an alloy so they dont F**k it up this time.

:evil:
