Spidertrax seems to be the way to go from having them on mine and reading in the forums

The new Alloy USA spacers look good. I have run the Spidertrax spacers for the last 20k miles with no problems, but if the aformentioned spacers had been available I think I would have given them a shot.

you can get blemished sets straight from the spidertrax website. $79.99 for the pair. just click on the 'outlet' tab on their homepage. i just put a set on a few weeks ago. on two of the four i couldn't even find where the supposed "blemish" was. the other two were just color swirls in the anodizing. you will do more blemishing just by putting the wheels on. and they still have the warranty intact.

I just put the rough country 1.5" spacers on our JKU. I have read the analysis posted on the Jeep forum, but I've not seen nor heard of any actual failures. I don't think RC could get away with selling then if there was any doubt or evidence of safety concerns...
