Spacer prices

I found a place that sells billet spacers. They are not cast like I believe H&R are. I think to get a full set of H&R it's around $200. These are under $200 for the set. Around $180 I think. But they are a machined piece and look very nice. They are 25mm, perfect for FD whee's w/ the stock size FD tires from what I understand. These come w/ new lugs and nuts. They do NOT use longer lugs, new ones rather.

I'm thinking about getting a set here soon. But I'm wondering if anyone has ever come accross anything cheaper than that. I've got a set of FD wheels in my back yard just screaming to go on my FC.

I believe these spacers will hold up to pretty much any harsh envirnment. I talked to many guys who are in the aluminum field and said there would be other weak points before those spacers in my drive system....

Just make sure that they are hub-centric...so the hub is bearing the weight of the wheel and not the lugs.

I can get them custom made ANY size with the same or any new lug pattern or any thread pitch for 250$. I have a set of 1.25" for the front and 1.5" for the back in the mail to fill my fender flares.

That's not all that cheap though. How are they constructed?

Mazda FC/FD/MX-6/626/Millenia, Ford Probe, Dodge Avenger, Mustang, Toyota MR2/Supra, Nissian 300Z, along with most small truck and SUV's all have the same bolt pattern.

Having an H&R catalog comes in handy sometimes. hehe, You can just look at the spacer sections and see all the cars that have the same pattern.

Those cars all have the same pattern, but the offset is another story obviuosly.
