So for the benefit anyone searching threads in two years time, make sure your brakes and wheels are completely clean of grease before spending any money.

Good news. I also wonder if the spacers and bolts that were removed can be put back on with a good cleaning and lubing. I am not sure they actually tried this. I think what they did was remove the spacers and the bolts that came with the spacers, lubed the brakes, cleaned the hubs thoroughly and then put the same 668M wheels back on with the stock bolts and called it a day and deemed the spacers and bolts the problem. After they did this the noises were and are 100% gone. The shop is going back to Dinan for replacements but Dinan has been unresponsive. I really want my spacers back on, but not at the expense of the embarrassing clicking. It is a really good shop though, so they probably did their due diligence. They also troubleshot it three times prior including installing the BMW friction rings. The loner lugs kept becoming loose in my case, so that has nothing to do with lubing and cleaning.
I just want that flush look before I put it away for the winter. If they don't hear back, I may just get another setup by a different maker. I always thought the rears would look better with 20mm's (vs. 17mm) so this may be an opportunity. I think 12mm up front is just right.
What brand spacers are you using?
