Actually, my years of selling and servicing wheels and tires makes me think that it IS the fault of the spacer manufacturers. If the mounting surface and hub on the car does not have a bevel at the base of the centering hub, the spacer shouldn't have that either. Poor R&D in my mind. The end user should not have to modify their factory wheels to use a spacer.

The problem, as mentioned in the video, is that there is no standard for that interface so wheel and spacer manufacturers are free to do whatever they want. Some put a big bevel and others put no bevel (and everything in between).

So... now the expensive factory wheels have been modified to fit only with a spacer?

The wheels still work just fine without the spacers.

There is no way I'm going to modify my factory wheels to fit a spacer. To me that is just wrong.
MOO & FWIW

That's fine. That's not the point of my post. The point is that if you've installed spacers you need to check if they're seated properly or you run the risk of catastrophic failure. If you're not comfortable with a slight modification to your wheels then buy different spacers or remove them altogether.
