info@eurosportgarage.com <-- spacers

completevalue@***.net <--spacers with studs

I bought spacers from both of these places. I think they both might have spacers with and without pressed in studs, but I bought a set of spacers without studs from Euro Sport Garage, and a set with studs from Complete Value. I found both of them on EBay originally and had no issues with the transaction or the merchandise.

I know H&R also makes spacers as I have a set from them as well.

Default spacers

Give Randy a call at Doug Rippie Motorsports. They make machined aluninum ones and have chrome moly replacement studs to go with them. I used their 5/8 spacers to clear the C6 Z06 brakes on the front of my vert. Their spacers are machined with a lip for the rim and a shoulder for the hub, makes a very solid, stable fit.

PM forum member JC-5. His are as nice as $200 CCW spacers for 1/2 the price. I was extremely pleased with his service and quality.

CCW quoted me $189 for 4 spacers. Maybe they're $14 with a set of wheels?

Mental note...bug those in the market for CCW's to buy me spacers.

I had a set of Mr Gaskets, and they aren't hubcentric or lugcentric. Not sure I'd feel so great about that on a track, but they did look really clean on the wheel.

Mental note: Put locking lug nuts on to prevent some one from stealing my wheel spacers.
