18x8.5 non-staggered setup anyone?

I think the Breyton GTS-R is a great looking wheel, and more importantly, lightweight. However, I want to go non-staggered with 18x8.5 at all four corners. To accomplish this wheel spacers of 7 or 8mm thickness are required to yield an effective offset of 40-41mm. Nobody currently makes this size spacer for BMWs.

Now we have a commercial 1Addicts memmber, Chad Cutter of Velocity Motorcars, that has come out with a new line of what looks to be very high quality wheel spacers. Althought the 7-8mm size is not in his current line up, he's willing to custom machine a run of 8mm spacers with the required hub-extenders (the best and safest way to use spacers) for a group of us. If you are interested, check out his thread on the spacers for more info and add your name to the 8mm list.

Let's square up with the new Breyton GTS-R!
