Im on the look out for a set of bolt wheel spacers for mx5, so 4 x 100.

In and around 20-30mm, just need a pair for the front.

I'd prefer a decent brand, as I've heard too many horror stories or losing wheels!

Is there any place you'd recommend? Any brand?

Links are king!!

Thanks interneters

Best quality ones I've seen are H&R I think! I think they're German too which will satisfy your little Nazi fetish, although I wouldn't know really, just wanted to give ya a little bit of abuse.

those red power ones dont look great and they're not hubcentric. just a big 75mm centre bore

not sure what make mine are but they seem fine even with the welded diff.

And my favourite quote from seller respond:

Our auctions are not filled with alot of technical junk, the spacers are made from t306 aluminium which is the strongest and most expensive aluminium available for making this type of product, the spacers we sell are one of the best available,
:rolleyes:

+1 on H+R's, nothing like German manufacturing!
Fuck them ebay specials must be made of chinese tinfoil, what a cunt, selling these for people to fit to their car's is a fuckin disgrace. Though I suppose at that price you know you aren't buying quality.

Have used Ultralite ones before and they seem fairly decent, cant remember a price off the top of my head but think it was around the €100 mark from EARS MOTORSPORT in cork.
