I'm pretty sure the pair of 6mm for the front was $100. They did not have to be hubcentric, though, in my application. Hubcentric would have been more. (The 8mm spacers for the rear were over-the-counter, aftermarket items and cheaper.)

The aftermarket brand was H & R. They made 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25mm spacers for a 5x100 pattern. Perhaps, they make the 10mm version for your pattern.
Yeah I was looking at H&R sets but for the porsche bolt pattern it goes 7mm then 14mm

You said unless all are hubcentric, does that mean its feasible to use two spacers if they are both hubcentric or is it still not very safe?

I don't see why two consecutive hubcentric spacers would be unsafe but if seven's and 14's are all that are available, I don't see how you will get a ten.

... unless you are thinking of going with hubcentric adapters. Going from a Porsche to something else back to a Porsche would be most unusual. Getting both to be hubcentric and equal to only 10mm would be miraculous.

You could buy the 14's and mill, or turn them down to 10mm. Anyone with a Mill, or lathe can do this (I have both ). 4mm is not that much to "shave off".

That sounds very sensible to me, too.

Hmm, its a possibility.

Oasis: I asked about the hubcentric spacers because I have found 5mm spacers but don't know if they are hubcentric or not.
