i agree with the wheel bearing thing
i believe the stock rim with spacer = aftermarket rim with the correct offset, IMO
to me if i'am willing to put nice rims on my car i would be more than willing to keep stock rims and just use spacers for the right fit, in my head they both impact the ride/bearings/handling all in the same way
