This isn't a traditional group buy, but this seems the best place for it.
I am looking at having a set of custom wheel spacers made, using the services of www.emachineshop.com . They will be 15mm thick, with a 57.1mm bore (hubcentric to car) and a 73mm shoulder (hubcentric for select aftermarket wheels). They will look very similar to the H&R 15mm spacers, just having a 73mm shoulder. I am using a stud hole diameter of 13.5mm so they won't bind on the studs, or be too sloppy. They will be 6061-t6 or 6063-t6, which is very similar and more than sufficient for wheel spacers.
The reason I'm posting this is because if I just order 4 of these, they will run about $80 each. If I order 8, the price drops to $57 each, which is much easier to take. The more I order, the more the price drops, but in smaller increments (12=$47, 16=$42, with $40 each being about as low as it goes). So this is a feeler to see if anyone would be at all interested in a set of these.
If you are seriously interested, you can download the emachine program and I can send you the file so you can see for yourself, and double check my design. Because of the nature of this, I can make no changes to the design, so I'm afraid I cannot accomodate different thicknesses, etc.
I'm on no timetable with this, it's not a "hurry up or be left behind" deal. My reason for doing the spacers this way is so I don't have to run the H&R spacers and a hubcentric ring in combo for the wheels I am interested in.
Thanks for your time!
