$52...wow what a sweet deal! I wish I would have scored a deal like that.
I put a set of Spidertrax on before Camp Jeep and all seems to be good. I will probably go over them and check torque this weekend as it is time for a rotation anyway. Just an FYI, I opted out on the loctite.

While you guys are arguing about thread lock, there is another difference between the spidertrax and teraflex spacers (other than the material they are made of). The spidertrax are hub-centric while the teraflex spacers are lug centric (according to teraflex).

Hub centric center with the ring on the hub itself, with the lugnuts loose, spacer should be theoretically perfectly centered. Lug centric means the lugnuts are doing the centering, so they have to be carefully torqued. Hub centric, there is less of a chance that improper tightening of the lug nuts will cause vibration or a pull, since the lugs are not doing all the centering.

There is some debate about hub vs lug centric. While the argument usually goes to Hub centric, I know tons of people are running lug centric spacers without any issues.
