Hello guys.
I think to buy pair of Precision European Motorwerks spacers for 60$. What do you guys think?
here's the link.
http://www.amazon.com/Hubcentric-Spacers-C...erks+5X100+54.1

Is it a good deal? or they're not the safe? Any opinions?
like what about a quality compared to ichiba or H&R spacers?


Thanks

A spacer is a spacer. A wheel can fall off regardless of the manufacturer. Most of these brand name companies don't do stuff in-house, they're outsourced materials and labor from China as well as the cheap eBay ones.

That said, as long as the spacer is hubcentric to your vehicle hub and wheel hub, and you torque all the spacer nuts down with the appropriate torque they'll be fine.

So what you're telling me is that I over paid for my ichiba spacers. ****! Lol. J/p. Its like buying an intake. All it is, is just a pipe and a cone at the end. Only difference is that it cost more to have a branded name on it. Lol.
