skulte spacers, worth the money?

i just got c6 wheels and need spacers. i went to skulte.com first and it would be 150 a pair for the spacers i need. i started shopping around (ebay) and i can get the same 6061 billet spacers from 55-90 a pair. am i missing something. is anyone running spacers not from skulte, and if so are you satisfied. i need 2.0 inch front and 2.25 inch rear, anyone selling a used set?
thanks

Re: skulte spacers, worth the money?

i have a set from skulte and a set from ??that came with my Z06 wheels.
the ??? spacers did not have the slight chamfer on the inside diameter of rear set so i had to remove some material with sand paper to fit them over the slight lip that protrudes around the center of the brake drum.

Re: skulte spacers, worth the money?

If you think about the costs to machine a solid chunk of metal like that, and to pay for the metal itself, it adds up.

Personally i find them a little expensive, but they are quality peices.

Re: skulte spacers, worth the money?

I am using the skulte spacers up front. I wasn't sure what thickness I needed and they helped me pick the right ones (I wanted my tires/wheels to tuck slightly). The assistance was worth the extra $$$ to me...
