Hi Folks: Wheel spacers on Ebay are 60% - 80% less expensive than like parts from Porsche or our friendly neighbourhood aftermarket parts suppliers. I know, quality, reliability, relationship. But these are not complicated items- and we require no technical expertise or customer advice. Every Tom, Dick, and Lei sells them. Can it really be that Chinese lathes are out of round or that the billet they buy is horribly flawed? What do you think? SMS

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Let's put it this way: If you valued your head at $10, you would buy a $10 helmet to protect it; but if your head was substantially more valuable to you, you would buy a better helmet. Just a thought............
Hi JFP; I absolutely agree. The question remains, however, is whether the more expensive units are indeed "better helmets" or the same quality helmets. SMS

While I have not made an extensive study of them, he cheap ones I have seen are just that, cheap and poorly made.
I agree a cheap spacer should be the same as an expensive spacer. I think we might agree that name brand spacers are kind of overpriced. Neither is likely to fail and you're right also that the technology is too simple to screw up. The only concern I might have is the hub fitment, but it will be obvious pretty quick if that's a problem.
I have seen a cheap set with the hub centric counterbore being too shallow and as a result the spacer wouldn,t fit up flat to the hub.
