Who manufactures these spacers? Not H&R nor Eibach, I assume, correct?

No, we decided that we should make some because there is not much in the way of engineering involved in these plus we have a very low cost source for aluminum through another business that we have. With our ability to get aluminum at such a low price and access to all the proper machines this is a product that we are able to bring to the market at a very low price.

H&R and Eibach just don't have the same buying power when it comes to aluminum and they cannot possibly get it at the same pricing as we do. We also have some idle 2 axis machines so it made sense to get them online and start using them.

Now you can take advantage of that and you have a source for very low cost wheel spacers. If you need any just let us know.

haters crazy
Do they have lips on them so you can sit the wheel on it while you put the bolts in?

It's Hub Centric, exactly like the factory hub. I imagine you are talking about a raised edge around the inner hole that will fit in the center of the wheel? If you are the answer is yes, that is the Hub Centric part of it.

You are right though that a lot of spacers do not come with that and that can only lead to problems. By having that on the hub you are guaranteeing that the hub is centered on the wheel, without that the wheel has the chance of wobbling really badly if it is not centered correctly. A lot of people rely on lugs alone to center the wheel but that is no good.

Will you be offering smaller sizes? What would be great is anything under 10mm with the lip. The H&R spacers under 10mm don't come with the lip.

Do you guys have these made already or is it a "pay now, ship once we actually make them" kind of thing?
Also +1 on a smaller size

My buddy got a set from ebay and they didn't have the lips, basically a big washer with 5 holes in that case and good luck lining up 50lbs of wheel/tire without it...

Echo the statement on sizes? I need a set of 5mm spacers, +/- 1mm. Is that possible?

No, we do not do any of that using your money as a loan to our business stuff. We feel that if we need to borrow your money to expend our business then maybe we are not ready to expand our business. All of these parts are already made and I would say that we ship most of the parts that we advertise on the forums within 24 hours. There are some cases where that does not happen but most of the time that is the case.

As for the smaller size, which size would you guys be interested in?

+1 on those sizes. Maybe even 8mm also. You start pushing out smaller sizes and you will definitely have my business. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. The best part is you guys are on the east coast. You will get tons of business cuz of that alone. No more waiting for guys in Cali...

I brought up doing smaller spacers and was told that it isnt a problem. They are going to see if they can source aluminum from, another job that get's left over and would be ideal to use to make these sizes. That is how we are making the other ones so cheaply, because we have aluminum that is almost cut to those thickness's to begin with so it takes very little work on the machine and there is virtually no waste. The first thing to determine the cost of the spacers is the initial piece of aluminum that is being used, after that it depends on the amount of machining and finishing that goes into producing each piece.

I will have answers for you in two weeks. I am sure that I will be able to accommodate you.

I am running a 15MM H&R spacer on RIAL wheels. The stock lug is flush with the wheels/Spacer combo. So I am kinda guessing..

The stock Lug is about 1 1/8 inch (28.6MM)

28.6mm + 13mm

So with this bang up math equation, I think I need about: 41.5mm ?

Does this sound right. That would give me 13mm into the hub
What do you think?

I would suggest a 1.55" thread length for the 13mm set up, this will safely hold your wheel in place.
