I have asked H&R directly and they had no spacers less than 15mm with a hubcentric fitment. It will fit the hub centered but not have an additional piece to center the rims.
Their was a guy on cl who was selling a set of 10mm hubcentric spacers only because he had a machine shop cut the insides down form a 15mm since none are available. I don;t think he would pay twice the price to have them machined over ordering another set if it was available.

The only thing negative is that powdercoating would cost additional money (around $400 for a set of 4). Then again, what do I know? 
Good luck w/whatever you decide to do.

I think most of those horror stories are probably either from people tracking their cars, and/or from using non-hubcentric spacers? From everything I understand, more aggressive wheel offsets put extra load on your suspension and wheel bearings just the same way hub centric spacers do. It makes sense, too.
Anyways, I think Javy's thread has convinced me that 15 mm is the way to go... So given that I want 15 mm hubcentric spacers, what is my best option? H&R?

I like my H&R's but the KICS ones i have out back are much easier to install and remove , just they are next to impossible to find as well as getting the hub centric rings to fit them specifically.
I don;t track my car but it is heavy and so are my rims . Combine that with my 4 pot calipers and it is alot of stress by itself.
I have snapped atleast 7 H&R studs already and it still uses a hub to take the load off the studs If you could just buy the right offsets of the rims for $400 i would by far go that route than spacers as it is much safer and easier.

Well the difference in cost isn't big enough to be a major deciding factor... but I don't think the wheels would have looked as good or that the finish would be as high-quality if I got them powder coated.
And yes, the more aggressive offset definitely increases the load on the suspension and wheel bearings. I don't think you keep your cars long enough to ever really notice the problem, though. Tracking them can bring up problems quicker, too.
*sigh* Maybe I'll just wait and see if AME produces these wheels with a better offset anytime in the near future... If I went that route, hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to sell just the front pair of my current wheels.
