Good call. I was just about to post that you should apply an anti siezing lubricant to the hubcentric piece and the back of the spacer. They are prone to being extremely difficult to remove (nearly impossible), if left on for >6 months without the lube.

OP, good thread! I just picked up 5mm spacers for the front, and have 12mm on order for the rear. Since I lowered my 330i, I don't think I could get away with the 15mm spacers. The 5mm up front really take the tire out to the fender, but give it just enough room to not rub. (even at the track/autox w/255's on front).

One more thing.. if you could, could you please post how the paint stays on the lug bolts over time.. possibly in a couple months?
