I do not know of anyone that makes hub-centric spacers anymore.

You might ask on www.frrax.com

I have a couple sets of them that I had made, but would have to get an exhorbatent amount of money to part with them.

I ended up just finding them locally at a rim/tire shop. They charged me 20 bucks for 2 of them but i was able to get them the same day.

The reason i got them was because the z06 rims i have in front have the spokes going inward, like this

The other set i had didnt really have a lip and cleared the brembo calipers, yet these have a problem clearing c6 calipers with the c5 bracket =(

make sure they are solid one piece, i.e. billet. The cheaper layer ones are no good.
