hi, just had a m3 body put on my e30, and bought some new alloys, however i need some spacers so they come in line with the arches.
Was getting them from wheel mania- but being a pain in the arse.

can anyone help me- in the midlands area?

I don't know what type you of spacer you intend to get but I would recommend some like these http://www.fly-n-hi.com/FST/products/spacers.jpg instead of the normal metal rings (like these http://www.versatile-engineer.co.uk/spacers.JPG). These actually bolt permanently (well not permanant but the stay fixed on until you unbolt them) to the hub and give you 4 studs to bolt the wheels to. Less chance of vibration and less stress on the bolts. I didn't mean those particular ones, just the same design.

I have some on my car and I haven't had any problems with them even after quite a few track days on bitumen and dirt. They also make it a lot easier to change wheels.

I can't help with where to get them though sorry, I am in Australia.
