Wheel spacers: For looks, for handling or both?

Yea, it's pretty small. Nothing really that amounts to anything. So far as feel. I can tell when I have had spacer on/ off. But quickly forget there there after a trip down the road.

So the improvement may be real but it is small and you acclimate to it so quickly that it you almost don't realize that it's there? So from your perspective this is mostly an appearance mod correct?

I'm looking at Z1 Motorsports spacers (the kind that require the longer studs), any thoughts on these spacers?

Increasing track is going to make an unnoticeable change in handling, especially given the other components on the car.

Yea I would say for appearance. As red zed stated, it unnoticed due to the other commoners on the car. I don't know much about the Z1's spacers. But knowing them there probably good quality. Mostly I would ask questions about the studs. You want good quality studs. I have ARP studs with my spacers.
