Default Wheel spacers other than Spider Trax and Tera Flex

What do you guys think of these?

The price is much better, and they are hub centric.

Thanks for you input. Yes, I've check for Spidertrax and Tera Flex on the forum and Ebay.

You have some very valid points. My reasoning behind it is that it looks like it's similar material. Spidertrax and Tera obviously have more money, so they obviously have bigger advertising budgets and so on. So, I guess they have to pay for them somehow.

But anyways, what kills us in Canada is the shipping, duties, and broker charges. Now, these guys are based out of Quebec, so the only thing I would pay for is shipping and some taxes.

yeah...we pay more here in the north... but they are a reputable company and the shipping and duties and taxes and brokerage fees really weren't that bad when I ordered mine. I think they were 99 bucks a set and when I got them to my garage, I think it was like 250-255 bucks... I didn't think that was too too bad.

Yeah, the hit at the border is a PITA. I don't blame you for looking into other options, and I can see why you are considering other spacers. I like the idea of spending less money, but if a wheel spacer failed at highway speeds, you could die. Not worth it to save some $$$. Teraflex stuff is top notch, and so is spidertrax, from what I hear.
With a little research, you may be able to find out where the off-brand spacers are produced in comparison to the name brands. That may tell you a bit about their quality.
