What hasn't be mentioned is the material. I've seen the actual spacer crack before but what's worse is using poor stud material! Do these cheap spacers even have a number on the back of the stud? My Z1's had no number which worried me. My new bolt on's are 10.9 grade and my stud to wheel studs are 190,000 psi ARP studs. The insides are red locktite down to 90 or 100psi. Wheel to spacer is 85-90psi. Being hubcentric everything should be fine as all the weights on the hub and not the spacers.

This is a good post. The hustle with a lot of consumer products is to charge a lot and hopefully people will assume quality. Its frustrating how little talk there is of how to discern quality even on forums for enthusiast for a subject. I wish I had taken the time to try and educate rather resort to cynicism and sarcasm.
