Spacer question

Hey guys, I know some of you guys have these. I'm talking about wheel spacers, the ones that come with the extra set of studs. I'm in a toss up between two brands...
H&R or Eibach?

Which wheel spacer is better quality (is there even a difference)?

Which is the least expensive?

Should I be looking for another brand that you guys would recommend?


Thanks guys.

You will find that the ones c/w studs are on 15mm and up. The plate needs to be thick enough to support them.
Also make sure that they are hubcentric

I had the Ichiba and liked the quality of the product.
Others have used ebay knockoffs of the Ichiba and have had no problems.

Bottom line, all name brand name products are fine, just buy whichever is the best deal.

Just bought a set off Mike at CZP over in "wheels" in the vendor section. Got 2 sets, Ichiba V2s (15mm) for 310 shipped to Canada. Not cheap but not attrocious either.

He was really quick to respond... think about it.

I have had H&R in the past and they are quality pieces.

Thanks guys for all the input...
yes, I need 15mm -20mm spacers.
I've just checked the ebay ones, really good pricing compared to the big brands.

Do you guys see any concerns using the ebay no-name brand spacers?

I've been running the Ebay 25mm spacers for over about a year now. THey are great. Never had one issue and they are half the price of all the others. They were $90 per pair

Cool, thanks, I'll hit you up once I accurately measure exactly how much push out I need.
