I bought the spacers from Amazon from a supplier called Venom Wheel Accessories. The spacers are American made w/ the bolts made in Germany. They have a lot of different widths available and you can get package sets of four spacers with different width front and back.
Go to Amazon and search "Venom Wheel Accessories Black Porsche Wheel Spacers" and it'll list a boatload. Search around until you find what you're looking for.
They ship fast - two days from ordering to doorstep.

These are the ones that I've had on my car since Feb 2000 (15k miles ago). They are pretty nice - hub centric, no balance issues at all, very nice fit. I did 15/25 and I love the look. I run 225/17s up front and they 15 pushes them out to just inside the fender. I didn't want to go any farther because that setup is a really nice balance for steering in my opinion. 25 pushes the back wheel just beyond the top of the fender but I've not had any issues with mud splash or rock damage. It is a bit aggresive considering the wheel offsets but I have not had any undue suspension wear (that I can tell) since install. The bolts are really nice, they have the swivel collar just like stock ones. This is really important because most suppliers do not use this type of bolt which porsche says is mandatory in the manual. I can take pics tonight if you want.
FWIW, porsche actually makes oem 19mm spacers for these cars. You'll see them occasionally in pelican parts. Stupid expensive. I have not seen any documentation regarding concerns about wheel offsets when using them though, which makes me think that the suspension geometry will at least handle that without issue. I don't know that for a fact though.
