:rant: wheel spacers

I just got done driving around all day and visited like 6 different auto part stores and not a single one carried rim spacers! So does anyone have any extras?

Reason why ? The one size fits all spacers are **** and 1/2 is the widest I've seen or heard of. They usually don't center and are not balanced.

The much better spacers and spacer adapters are machined billet and come in custom thicknesses and/or bolt patterns. Local shops won't have them because of the high cost, low demand, and too many possible combinations.

Do a search on your browser for "billet aluminum spacer adapters". You'll find them.
