Spacers

Was looking into getting some spacers for my M3 but wanted to get some opinions on which brand to get. Was initially going to get the BMS ones. But then I started looking at Future Classic and Macht Schnell. Are those really worth the additional price vs the BMS ones?

I'm running Macht Schnell 15mm all around and took it to Laguna Seca with no issues whatsoever and lowered on kw v3s. I doubt brand really makes a difference but just in case, the Macht Schnell held up to track abuse just fine

Lots of M3/M4 owners (including track rats) running Macht Schnell spacers for years, by far the most popular.

I've been using 12mm Macht Schnell spacers for three years. Zero issues and I change my wheels twice a year.

Also note that swapping wheels is the only automotive work I've done. So for me to never have issues should say a lot about the product = D!

Thanks for the input. Is there a reason to go with Macht Schnell vs something else?

I don't see why there would be. All I know is I'd buy them again.
