So I am considering running a set of 4th gen 9.5" rims on my IROC-Z and I underdstand that I will need 2" wheel spacers on all four corners. I came across the Skulte brand but they are $150 a pair, $300 total! For those of you running used wheels are you really spending as much on spacers as wheels? Are there other significanly lower priced spacers of sufficient quality?

 

yes they are, used or new you need the same spacers
----------
not really

 

I got these on mine and they're fine and built good - 6061 billet aluminum...same as the Skultz units.

$170 for 4 with free shipping.

 

Thanks for the replies. I just picked up a used set locally on craigslist for $80.

 

Just in case anyone else searches on this topic later, I bought a pair of the 2" adapters on ebay and they came with "Made in China" stickers.

I'm not sure how the rest of you feel, but I have little trust in anything made in China. Hammer, OK. Pry Bar, Why not? Heat treated 6061 and supposedly Grade 10.9 studs, I don't think so.

My car is worth way more to me then the extra $130 it costs for an American-made product, designed by an engineer (Andris @ Skulte), and that has actually had track testing done on it.

If you had a Chinese adapter and one from Skulte in each hand, you can physically see the difference in quality. I run Skulte spacers on the race car because that's what I trust at 140MPH.
