Altrac wheel spacers by Circuit Sports, now available at P2M and any authorized Circuit Sports distributing dealers.
Descriptions:
Circuit Sports Altrac bolt on type wheel spacers for your Nissan vehicles. Available in 4-114.3 or 5-114.3 PCD. Available from 15mm to 30mm thickness. Each spacer is sold in pair of 2, comes with spacer hub ring for stock hub bore and available with optional wheel hub centric rings to align most aftermarket wheels with 73.1 center wheel bore.
Specs:
Spacers machined from billet T6 aluminum
Heat treated carbon steel wheel studs for strength
Black coating on wheel studs to ensure durability and avoid premature corrosion
Anodized silver coating on spacer aluminum body for durability and long lasting finish
Uni-lateral wheel stud length ensure all wheel studs are the same length across 15 to 30mm spacer thickness (some others uses longer wheel studs to make up the thicker wheel spacers which weakens the structure of the spacer)
Ring lock type spacer hub rings (not floating hub rings like others) provides additional measures to safety and structure of the wheel spacers
At P2M we are offering limited time FREE GROUND SHIPPING for the spacers purchased on our website direct.
Thanks for visiting.

i was at first excited then realized they still total out to 150 bucks after you add on. they charge you more for 30 mm and more for having the hub ring for the wheel to sit on....COOL now i'll just go buy PBM which will be better and cheaper.

Me too man! I was all excited because my Ichiba studs just broke on my 30mm spacers and thought hmmm these should be a little bit cheaper than the PBM's but they arent!:barf: I wont have to wait either because PBM is right down the street!

WOW! Usually Circuit sports parts are inexpensive with decent quality. but i guess the price skyrocket.

Can anyone post a link showing the price point and product details for PBM? I would like to study it. It might be cheaper but not sure if it's 'better'.
A supposedly Japan branded products that's priced cheaper than what normally should come out from Japan would be interesting to study and do a side by side comparison.
Most of you know Circuit Sports has been providing products at quality pricings, if spacers can be made cheaply yet retain good structure quality it would have been done.
Best yet we challenge anyone to mail us a pair of PBM spacer , we will have Circuit Sports do an unbiased autopsy cutting the spacer apart and do a structural review of both spacer side by side all the way from material used, depth of the lug seat, strength of the spacer studs, hole size of the wheel studs, etc. You guys will be amazed how much little details you are not looking at when buying wheel spacers but just merely looking at the bling factor.

PDM makes quality products, I have never heard of anyone having major issues with anything theyve made. so i'd trust their spacers to get the job done.
Their spacers are also adjustable, I know many people who have ran them and had 0 problems, and i've used them on my previous car.

Yours are actually 10 bucks cheaper, but id rather pay 10 extra for the adjustability.
I think the biggest problem with yours is that hub centric and 30mm are extra money.

Thanks for unbiased opinion. I checked the adjustability, clever idea. On a race stand point, definitely not as strong as a one piece billet spacer. Good for show definitely, but on rotating mass, your life is dependent on your wheels holding to the car, so to each of their own.
Price wise I am glad everyone is about in the same league, so Altrac is not too far out of the line. For true racers that cares more for safety, one piece billet spacer is the way to go. For race purpose and for some reason if anyone has the reason[s] to keep changing between offsets that warrants different thickness spacer then the PBM one is good option since you change change offset on the fly, but in reality more things to go wrong than a one piece billet spacer and "stucturely" not as strong.

mmhmm, i understand that, and you are welcome, If i need just 25mm spacers rather than 30, these will be the way to go.

There are a lot more to spacers than just a chunk of metal CNC'd or water jet'd, etc. if these are an actual billet metal, if there were any impurities when the metal was casted. What the engineer(actual) modulus of elasticity is and not just assuming it off of the chart for T6 aluminum. The actual tolerance used on the thread design. a lot of(not all) products are overlooked during the R&D because time and money is a factor.

I have these on my daily, and also put full set (all 4 corners) on two of my friends car, no problem what so ever, they seat nicely and feel very durable.. just my 2 cents....Stacking spacer's seem's like a good idea but not safe imo...

didnt these just come out, like this week? how have you had them on your daily.
I dunno, if you ask me PBM's dont seem any better, or any better constructed or designed.
I mean I only need 20mm but stacking spacers is in NO WAY appealing to me.
Not only that but you cant really give that much more credit to a company that calls aluminum lug nuts "form and function of racing lug nuts".
