    Do you want inexpensive wheel spacers?! Look in here!

    Hey guys, Me and SnakeKP have decided that there is high enough demand to start cutting wheel spacers! We've already cut a tester pair and had a review written up about them. You can see that here:


    We are offering only one size so far and that is 1/4". They'll be cut out of carbon steel on a water jet (just like our tie rod spacers).

    Here's some pictures of the spacers as well of them installed.








    You will need extended lugs to run these spacers!!! Please do not try to run them without, like always me and SnakeKP are not liable for anything you do to your car.

    The pricing is at $75 for a set of 4. That's right people, 4 spacers for much less then what most companies are charging for 2. Now since the spacers are heavier than our tie rod spacers we won't be able to offer free shipping with these.

    We are currently looking for a minimum of 10 pre-orders! Once that pre-order limit is reached we will start cutting the spacers on the waterjet and cleaning them for painting and shipping.

    As always, feel free to ask any questions either in a comment, PM, or an email to cvotzmeyer@gmail. com


    Thank you!

    Bump.

    You don't need to send in money yet for the wheel spacers, just start a list here. Figured this would have exploded by now. 4 spacers for 75 dollars, can't beat the price!

            Also, just to let everybody know, these aren't the prices for just the 10 pre-orders. They'll be set at this price for all future orders as well.

                    You need to add a hubcentric lip, or use extended hubcentric rings on your hub....otherwise you are greatly decreasing safety by reducing the distance the wheel sits on the hubcentric lip....which is a set distance.

                    Ask Turner Motorsport about it.

                      As of right now, no. But if people are more interested in ordering sets of 2 we can change up the pricing.

                        The center hub is not there to hold the wheel on, the hub is there to center the wheel and there's still enough hub sticking out to center the wheel. Friction between the wheel and hub mating surfaces is what holds it on, not the lugs and not the hub.

                        Not only that, those hub extenders are not the correct size for a e30. Our hub diameter is 57.1mm.

                          That's basically the same thing we're offering. Ours is 6 MM theirs is 5 MM, notice it doesn't have an hubcentric lip? If somebody wants to add hubcentric rings to their wheel for more safety, more power to them.

                            In the case of our wheel spacers, you need to run extended lugs, not studs. We are asking half what most companys are asking in price. The reason we designed these is for a cheap alternative to what is usually an expensive product.

                            If you put your wheels on correctly there should not be a problem, period.

                            Most aftermarket wheels are not hucentric yet hundreds of people run them on the track without hubcentric spacers on a daily basis.

                            Ive put over 10000 miles on these exact spacers on my miata, and ran them at MSRH, Texas World Speedway, multiple drift events, and tons of autocrosses. Never have I once had a problem, and they are not hubcentric. If someone dose not feel comfortable running wheel spacers then they simply should not do it, there are things I have specifically not done to my car because I just didnt feel it was safe.

                            I feel as long as the wheel it squared up properly, you are using the proper lug nut to match your wheels counter sink, and you torque your lugs down to the appropriate spec, then you have alleviated any possible problems.
