I would not worry about quality when you go with such thin spacer.

You are using just a studs to hold the wheel.

If you go with a bigger spacer that has studs built in then a quality is something to worry about.

But in this case just get longer studs and you shall be ok with those spacers.

All they are is just a washer between the hub and the wheel

And quality does not really matter.

I was also thinking about getting the 12mm spacer, same kind as the one posted. Is that too think u think for this "cheap" type of spacer?

Also Could I just go to discounted auto parts and buy longer studs or do I have to ordered it online?

Thanks

You could prolly pick up longer studs in any auto parts store.


As I said. When a spacer small enough that it does not have studs built into it then I would not worry about quality. But when you go higher then you might want to pickup something light and properly made.

I would not use 5mm spacers without extended studs, one of the local members snapped 2 of them off running 5mm spacers without changing his studs within a week of installing them, 3mm is the most I would use without replacing the studs
