hi,
i'm in the process of installing my carrozzeria wheels on the 1000s.
the problem seems to be a spacer issue with the rear wheel. Pics can be seen here:

You can see that I can't get the right oem block spacer to fit. I originally thought it was the right spacer on the rear wheel that was the problem but now i suspect it's the left spacer. The width of the right spacer dictates the relationship between the caliper carrier and the rotor. If the spacer is too big or too small, the rotor won't sit centered in the carrier. In my case, it's pretty much fine. So then I guess the problem is with the left spacer.
If someone who has these wheels installed could take a look at the pics and give me some feedback that would be great.
Also, i noticed that the orange bearings in the wheels don't seem to be protected all that much from the elements. Have any of you experienced premature bearing failure or does everything look fine in the pics?
Thanks.
