Spidertrax is HC not 100% cure but I think MC is too. Pretty sure TF is LC... but again I could be wrong

Spidertrax 1.5in here, if you plan on using them later with aftermarket wheels, you can. The 1in spacers others offer cannot be used with just any rim unless you grind the stock studs down, they work ok on the stock rims though.

Why the hell did you even post that? That's just wrong, and we're jealous.

TeraFlex wheel spacers are solid billet steel. No studs getting pulled out on these. Clackey should of used these.

Tell me more please..

I would think billet alu would be better for unsprung weight reduction.. What's the deal with studs pulling out? Is this an issue for any of the brands?

Who is making a wheel spacer that is not billet ?

billet means that you are starting with one chunk of material and making something out of it . I could not imagine somebody making a spacer out of anything else.
