Don't know if RC's wheel spacers are LUG CENTRIC or HUB CENTRIC, but I would stick with Hub Centric brand spacers. I know 4sure SpiderTraxx are Hub centric...

thanks man (love the signature by the way). the only difference i can see in the spiders and the rc is the blue color on the spiders. is this to make them look pretty or does this serve a purpose?

gotcha man!! im just not wanting to spend the extra $80 for some blue color that no one will ever see. i just want to make sure that the rc spacers arent cheaper for a reason. ie: build quality, crappy quality control, etc....

You mean progressive torque as in tightening in a star pattern or varying the torque until they all reach the correct ft/lbs?
