Has anyone purchased any wheel spacers from ebay?...4 for $100....or is it " you get what you pay for"?

 

I did! I bought a set about 2 years ago for my '98 ZJ and had no problems with them. They were pretty good quality, CNC machined aluminum. The most important thing is to to torque them properly and make sure they don't loosen up or move. I ran them for about a year and a half for around 11,000 miles - on and off road.

 

ok, thanks for the help and onfo.

 

I did too.... and mine had weak studs! Broke a few off torquing them down after a few rotations.
I just recently installed a set of spidertrax.

 

Doesn't seem like a part to cheap out on but that's just me.

 

what makes these spidertrax better than others...most have the same machining and same aluminum?

 

I dont know. But here's a pic, looks as though a couple studs were slightly cracked before breaking


I'll sell you these if you want some cheap spacers! LOL

 

No, thanks.....so it seems to me they are going cheap on the grade of thread material? Was there anything wrong with the hub?

 

No, the hub was perfect. I almost just upgraded the studs, but I got a great deal on the spidertrax spacers, so these are sitting in my garage.

 

There are a bunch of threads on spacers to read through, but check posts 9 and 38 in this one for some testing results.
