Bought them brand new from a fellow forum member. I knew I was going this route. They are 12mm and made by Dinan. Yes, you need longer bolts.

lol .. yep totally agree mate , washed my 892M's first time last weekend .. they are the type of wheel where you think you have washed all holes , grooves , spokes, recesses etc, only to find that once they have dried you've missed a few spots

Perhaps I need a beer before washing / detailing

This is one of the reasons I sold my winter wheels and went with a simpler Y-spoke pattern BBS.

Even with low dust pads, I hate spending more time cleaning wheels than the car!

And agree, no matter how thorough you are there is always a spot that gets missed

I finally found a straightforward,relatively pain-free(two sections of my spine are fused)solution after 6mos of ownership/weekly washings. I'm able to stand upright and use a bristled,round "cobweb cleaner" on the end of a 5' extendable handle,spray the wheels w my desired cleaner,let soak for a few,then while standing I use the bristled cobweb cleaner to get all inside the spokes,all the way in the inside/backside of the wheel,etc. It's easier for me then the Wheel Woolies they sell.

Switch the bristled end quickly to get the 1 section behind the front calipers(too lazy to get inside the vehicle,start it,and move the car a foot fwd/back for access lol). Blast away with the pressure washer and they come out 99.5% clean. There's always that one tiny spot I may miss lol.

I used to thoroughly enjoy the detailing and washing aspect of being an enthusiast,but I physically can't sit on a bucket or kneel down to get these wheels properly so I had to figure something else out

"Where there is a will there is a way" nice workaround solution bud

I like the mobility of the wheels. My next mod is to put in n ///M sticker on it for faster performance

So, I must agree with all of the other posters.. this is really an essential mod that improves the ride quality, the handling and looks of the car. Here are my pics. 295 rear, 265 front with 12mm spacers. If anyone knows where to find a 40mm long black wheel lug lock let me know

I was wondering the same thing about 40mm wheel locks for use with 12 mm spacers.

I'm not sure the wheels and tire wouldn't stick out too far on the back, or if the fronts would rub on that car? This setup is fairly aggressive and looks substantially more so over the factory tire sizes... I'm not saying they wouldn't fit, but I'd do some pretty good research before spending lots of money on these to find out they don't fit correctly.

I would HIGHLY recommend it. I've got both our car's wheels coated and it makes a world of difference.

The wife's volvo has Carpro Dlux ceramic and mine has Gtechniq C5. Both appear to be equally as good but time will tell how long they'll actually last. I suspect maybe 2 years.

Don't expect to be able to just hose off all the braked dust though. It's not magic but it helps quite a bit.

I have the 765M wheels so it's not quite as bad of a time.

I use this brush for the face of the wheel and most of the inside of the spokes area. What I like about this brush is that the rubber edges mean when the brush comes into contact with the wheel, it won't scratch.

https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-15570.../dp/B001GJ3DZS

And this brush to make sure all the inner barrel of the wheel is clean as well as the calipers and any crevaces of the wheel spokes

What are the part numbers and specs for the 892M wheels?
I looked on Realoem.com, but they are not on there.
