Default HELP with wheel spacers!!!

Guys, please advise what are the best wheels spacers?
I remember someone on this forum had his wheel spacers broken! So I want to be sure that spacers I'm going to buy are of a best quality!

I'm choosing between Spidertrax and TeraFlex spacers! However, if there are better spacers, please suggest!

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

SpiderTrax seems to be the #1 choice.

Curious why you're adding spacers, though? The BS on your current rims is 4.5", isn't it?

You got the two recommended brands nailed already, both are great, I've got the Spidertrax and have zero issues

Thanks!
I want to use them with my stock steelies in winter! I was running 285/75 r16 tires with no spacers last winter and had some rubbing on the stabs.

just my 2 cents but I am running the RC spacers and they work great for me and a whole set is $115 from rough country...but I think they would all be about equal...except for the spiders are anodized a cool looking blue.

While it's true Spidertrax will probably be the more popular choice, I prefer Tereflex because they are steel. The last time I checked, steel was stronger than aluminum. Not that I have heard of any Spidertrax spacers failing....it's really a personal choice for me. I like steel.

WOW, that's a lot of exclamation marks!

I am considering some to add some trcak width in order to counteract the height of my 6" lift.... even though i have 4.5" BS wheels.

Steel has it place and so does aluminum. Not to mention the quality of the studs MFG's use. Never had any problems with spidertrax.
