How about spacers? (wheels)

I am getting sick of looking for decent wheels that fit my 85 GS. I HATE Panasports, they look like ****. Anyway how do spacers hold up, ive heard mixed reviews, what do you guys think? -thanks

If you are an agressive driver (hard cornering) the spacer may be a bad idea. Ive seen a couple of cars with spacers lose wheels mid corner.

Spacers sound good to me. I had them on a VW for years and no problems. Let me know where you get them from

Unless the spacer is properly designed, it will chew through the wheel's hub face and eventually you will find yourself driving minus a wheel!
