Yea, when I was taking off the lugs on the V2 spacers, some were loose and some were tight which I think were the causes of the vibrations.

Woah, the v2's aren't good? Were they torqued down correctly? I was going to install some this weekend but now I'm a little nervous? Were you using stock wheels JohnnysG?

Nope, I was using Volk GT-30 Phantoms. I had two places torque them down actually, one guy torqued it at 120pb/ft and I went to a dealer yesterday and the guy took them off and re-torqued them down to 100lb/ft and when I took them off myself, I noticed 3 were torqued pretty good, and two of them were loose. So... I really don't know. I'm going to try out these V1 H&R 15mm spacers tomorrow and see how they go.

I heard H&R's were the best, (I'm assuming both the V1's and the V2's are identical in performance.)

The spacers I was using were Ichiba's which many people I read have problems with.

Well they should have been torqued to only about 80-85 ft lbs which is factory spec for your wheels. Ichiba v2s are known to have vibrations a lot of people said that using a copper crush ring under the hub centric ring fixed their vibrations. I have h&r drm's which are the bolt on style and are torqued to spec with no issues or vibrations. With any bolt on spacer I'd recommend to check them every few months though
