i know this sounds like a jdm name brand whore thing but project nissan carries Kic's spacers and mine are very good quality. i got the 25mm for my 17x10s and they were mega hot and held up very well. surprisingly good build quality imo. h&r is another brand to look for, as they can make them hubcentric :D

Well then, it's a good thing he is asking about the QUALITY of these spacers before buying them, huh?

You can't tell quality just by looking at that picture. Even in person it's hard to tell. It's a risk, if you want to save some $, then buy 'em. Otherwise, get some H&R's, they're track-tested and proven.
If you wanted feedback on 'em, you should've clicked on the seller's feedback rating right here: http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=uae350z
That's usually one of the best places to look if you're looking for "feedback" regarding the seller's products. Instead of creating a whole new thread Mr. 3998-post-count.
If anything, why don't you ask this guy. He won a previous auction for the same type of spacers. Here's the link, I already searched around for you: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42614&item=7936092511
You can PayPal me $5.00 for my spoon-feeding services.

I ordered a set from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42614&item=7951828623 recently. I'll let you know how they are when they come in. simply searching for wheel spacers on ebay will bring up a lot of companies like this. They usually fabricate spacers for trucks etc. so the quality and durability should be there. If they can handle a 18 wheeler, they should be able to handle a little jap car. Theyre priced at 1/3rd of HR ones and at half the price of the "cheaper" kcis ones, im going to give it a try. I know of a few ppl on ziptied that have purchased similiar spacers off ebay as well. Another good source is wheelspacer.com they can customize basically any size you want in any lug pattern.
STAY AWAY...
if there is no hub centric ring on the spacer is it may cause problems for you.
further, the studs are built into the spacer, also not the best idea, but not necessarily bad on its own.
i would only recommend H&R, because anything less than a 25mm will have seperate, longer wheels studs (good thing).
i bought the Touge Factory adjustable spacers a year ago and almost died on the highway because of the low qualtiy hardware that was supplied. the wheel lugs melted and tripped the provided studs while i was on the highway. i have pics of how the lugs bascially plowed over the threading.
spacers are very important, buy from a company that has liability insurance so that you can be sure they took precautions so that you dont die and sue.
^^^ obviously you cnat die & sue, but you get the point.

Ask Stilo.... he's on this board somewhere. He had a hell of a headache from ebay spacers i believe...
woah...i knew the tougefactory spacers werent so good but damn, i didnt know they would break off like that!
i'm about to invest in some new spacers...wtf
i have 15m H&R's at a CNC shop to be copied right now... i can do a pair of them for $100 canadian but i have to buy 15 sets... i cant afford to do it myself.
pair them up with nismo studs or ARP and you have biller spacers with the hub centric ring and good studs....

technically anything 25mm and over would be called an adapter since it would require studs pressed into them then attach to your hub...
but its very hard to tell from the pictures of how the convex part of the lugnut woult seat. And i agree to only buy spacers/adapters that are hubcentric and from a brand name you can trust. Obviously for material strength of the studs/threads
just buy from H&R or Fred Goerske (www.wheeladapters.com)

I agree with Heartwork-san, buy from Fred Goeske (wheeladapters.com) or H&R. That's your best bet.
Goeske is crazy and can make anything. It's all custom-made :D

I bought some ebay spacers before. Just email them and ask them if they will make them hubcentric for you, and find out what grade the studs are (grade10 or better is what I like)
I paid 160 for a set of 4 25mm bolt on spacers from an ebay shop. They worked fine and were great. You can get yourself a good deal if you do some research. H&R doesn't make their spacers out of some out of this world unobtanium you know.

well i called wheeladapters, and they quoted me 85 bucks for 30mm hubcentric to car hub AND to rims. but is important to have both hubcentric hub and rim? or juss one of the two?

just have the adapter/spacer hubcentric to the car hub since almost every wheel manufacturer offers slightly different center bores on their wheels

I haven't had a problem with my 30mm non-huncentric 5x114.3 kics spacers. I chose not to get the rings cuz I'm cheap. So far I've tracked my car about 5 times since getting them and have daily driven on them with uncountable canyon runs with no problems whatsoever. As long as the lugs are good, the studs are good, and they are balanced properly, they will be fine without hubcentric rings. It's not like the wheels rest on the studs or anything. I've been using them with Z32 wheels no problem. Flushes them out really nicely too.

i totally forgot about the kics spacer availble in the GB forum. if all i need is them to be hubcentric to the car hub, then i can juss get these. its a lot cheaper in the end and as people have said here, no problem with the kics spacers.
flybert. did you buy your spacers from the GB or else where? if you bought them from the GB, you are suppose to get the hubcentric rings for free
"The hub centric rings are normally sold seperately, and we only have them for Nissans at this time. but we are including the rings for free in this sale."

I picked up a pair of 25mm and 30mm kics spacers from the GB to use w/ the stock S14 SE wheels. Rings were free, quality pieces too. I've had them on the car for a while but it's only been sitting in the garage for the last 3 months.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!!!!
Total con artist, this seller has been selling under 3 different names for the last few months, "candygwh" "www_speedline_net" and now this name.
They dont send you what you want, and they take forever to do even that, im still missing a clutch kit i paid for back in December. AVOID THIS SELLER OR ANYONE SELLING ANYTHING WITH A SIMILAR LOOKING ADD.
