Your pics and explanations were very helpful and I thank you for that.

I had a somewhat shitty experience with a set.
Billet type 2 spacers, 20mm all around, measured flat, hub centric, OEM 19s
Started to develop vibrations over months, constantly checking for looseness, rotated the spacers around, balanced wheels, etc.
Upon doing rotors I noticed the surfaces of the rotors had hotspots all around the hub, rotor, wheel.
I'm leaning more towards the spacers, I believe either the studs on the spacers were cheap and stretched unevenly over time or the nature of + scrub radius excerting more weight pulls on the studs and deforms the AL over time. I have my doubts being that 20mm of billet AL should be pretty strong to prevent deformations however a stretching stud in this spacer will wreak havoc on the rotating surfaces.
It appears that my fix will require new hubs and rotors.
