Pretty much all hubcentric rings are plastic. I don't think I've ever seen one made of anything else.

What are you trying to compare between the Eibach and the ST? They are different systems (shank-bolt-through vs bolt-on), and inherently very different.
 
I feel like my wheels already line up with the ZL1s. I was worried going with spacers would make me have to get the full on rally mud flaps. interesting
I went with 12.5mm spacers and just placed the front ZL1s where I wanted, marked and re-drilled the holes. I installed then under the wheel well liner so cant see the holes anyway and it will hold it in place while you take off or turn the wheel. They line up perfectly now with the tire and lower skirt I installed. Car stays much cleaner now with that and the side skirt.

The backs I just tried to make sure I installed it out as far as it would go.
 
I just got my ST spacers today. They shipped very quickly. I ordered them thursday evening and received them today. I'm happy with the way they fit, and wouldn't have wanted to get any other spacers besides these. I'm on the stock springs. I took some pics to give you all a better idea of how they look at the stock ride height.

I went with the 10mm spacer, But with 10 mm spacer they do not provide hubcentric rings. Only the "flat" ring up to 10mm.

Hubcentric rings start at 12 mm spacers. And I wanted hucentric so.......

I bought the hubcentric ring (pn 65260032) for the 12 mm and cut it down. Now it works with 10mm spacers.

C'mon, what's 2mm between friends? :) What made you decide on 10? Visually do you think you could notice if they were 12 or 10? I admire the handiwork, just trying to understand your thinking.

I agree whats 2 mm .... there is no great rationale here.. 10mm is all I needed to clear the big brake calipers and I wasn't going for a look.

10 mm with some work to get hubcentric or 12 mm hubcentric out of the box, I probable should have gone with 12 from the beginning..

All,

I didn't run the plastic hubcentrics but I just went ahead and made these Alum ones that I will be using.

what is the benefit of the aluminum hubcentrics? and which is the best spacer for the money? site to purchase from?
 
Geez 20mm seems huge. I was hoping for more like 12.5mm so my factory wheels line up with fender. Am I wrong?

I went with the eibach 15mm, perfect fitment with the stockers.
