Wheels Spacers?
Is there any reason to buy name brand wheel spacers vs. some spacers off ebay? Its about $200 bucks for a set of 4 vs. $125 for a set from ebay. Ebay ones look pretty legit but I dont want any junk either. Dont want my jeep to fall apart. Thanks

Seriously? They're gonna be the only thing holding your wheels on. You want to save 75$, when buying (IMO) the most important piece of your JK?
I paid 22000$ for my used sahara. If I have a spacer malfunction, the Jeep will have serious damage. I drive my wife, dog, and 3 month old son around alot in my jeep. They are irreplaceable, and worth so much more then 75$.
Cheap out on exhaust systems, cai's, off road lighting. Nothing there can kill you if it malfunctions. If you want to run spacers, buy the best available.

Yes
Same design - hub-centric
Same grade hardware- studs
Same spacer material- different color.

Spacer material is weaker. We had a member here buy a set of each and do a bunch of tests. He graded the aluminum and everything.
Search RC spacers Vs spidertrax (or something similar).
Turns out that the rc spacers are weaker.
