H&R Spacer... Lip shaved/broke off?!

Yeah, it's just the 15mm ones that are the problem. I guess they can have the 2 of mine that are still good, combined with yours they can have a full set!

Looks like we need an additional section on the site: Group sale

On a more serious note, why would it only be the 15mm ones that break? I'd assume the design and machining of the hub-centric ring is the same for both. Only difference is the thickness of the actual spacer, isn't it?

The 15mm units have a thin point in the wall where it has to curve in to clear the stock hub ring. This curve generates a very thin point in the spacer ring where the aluminum wall thickness is < 1mm thick. The thicker spacers don't have this clearance issue and hence have a full thickness hub ring.

Take a close look at your spacer and the piece that broke off, try to piece it back together and you'll see what I'm talking about.
