Hi, I can have wheel spacers cutom made for us. They are available in 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2in. They will go for 40$/pair. I will get a batch produced if there is enough demand.

I don't think many people would buy those unless they can add the hubcentric portion to it, otherwise you will be centering the rim with the lug nuts alone and will most likely be getting some wobble in the steering wheel because of it, I bought a cheap set once that didn't have it and they where just no good at all.

I have been using these spacer on my car for 2 years without any problems wink1.gif
These are not the cheap universal spacers, they are custom built.

but they are built like the cheap ones.. for these to be worth it they need the hubcentric ring on em.

our cars need the hubcentric ring or its just not worth it. i say you machine on the hubcentric part.. wouldn't be hard at all, and make em 50$ a pair, then you will sell these like hot cakes. fing02.gif

your doing these on a lathe, right? all you would need to do is make the 1/2" spacer .8" thick, and then take down .300" of the material down to the diameter of 2.647" and you will have the hubcentric ring part, and the wheels will be centered correctly.

would you be interested in possibly doing a custom set for me?

i would be willing to pay 70$ a pair, but i need them custom made to certain specs.

Yea, seriously, I've broken quite a few studs before and I would never let the rim and the whole car rest on just those 4 studs without a ring.

I am not the one making the spacers. I had some done for me and offered the same thing to you. If you guys don't like them, don't show interest. I use those spacers on my car for over 60 000km, never had stud issues (but I recently changed to ARP studs, just in case) or issues with wheels not being centered. The spacers with the centric lip go for 100$+ wink1.gif.

wow, what a ripoff just to have the hubcentric lip..

i was just saying its not a smart idea to get spacers without a hubcentric area..

like maxxtib said, there wont be much people showing interest on something that is just as good as any universal wheel spacer.

Who are you in contact with for making them? Since this doesn't matter to you maybe we could talk to them.
