Sensible places for wheel spacers in the UK
I've tried the search options, but seem to get most result from the US, and most also have an element of lowering. Neither of which help me.
I have an OG M2 from 2016, standard height / wheels / tyres, and I want to push the wheels outwards. I'm thinking 12mm at the front, 10mm at the rear, but who are the go to people in the UK?

General question for the masses.
Is a spacer a spacer? What are the thoughts on the 'cheaper' end of things? Those Motech ones are £200 for a set of single thickness. I'm going to do the 12/10 combo so have asked if they can do that. However, there are Bimmec ones on eBay that come 12/10, black bolts with locking bolts for £140. Thoughts?

I remember looking around and found that driftworks seemed to be fairly well priced for spacers and corresponding bolts etc.
https://www.driftworks.com/wheels-an...wheel-spacers/ A spacer really is just a spacer and with modern cnc production, the difference mainly comes in the materials and finish. In the past I've had forge, eibach and H&R and the difference in quality was pretty much in that order. If you're bothered about how they look when you peer inside the wheel, I would pay the extra and get H&R |

So, I've got myself a set of spacers. 12.5mm fronts and 10mm rears, black anodised with matching bolts / lockers.
Fitting went well, no traumas from the spigot rings onto the faces of the bells or the inside of the wheels. Photos before: Photos after:
