Default Wheel Spacers "Revisited"

Ok guys. I'm getting ready to jump on the wheel spacer wagon this week. I've seen spacers going from $60 to $150. The cheeper model that I have seen doesn't realy look any diffrent than the more expensive models. Can someont tell my why I should by one set for more money. I can buy two sets for almost the same price.

i have to say that i'm with planman on this. you really do get what you pay for with spidertrax.

Agree with planman 100%.....don't cheap out I would hate see one of those cheapo spacers fail while you are driving at highway speed...

I just bought the Spidertrax from northridge for 99.00 bucks a set with free shipping. I also bought a set of Rough Country spacers ( needed one for the spare tire ) that cost 69.97 a set with shipping. I went with the Spidertrax for the wheels just because of the threads on quality of material. My friend is using the Rough Country spacers on his rig with no issues so far. I have 35's and his are 33's... Spidertrax is the blue one.

On the spidertrax website there is a place (like "outlet" maybe) that you can buy their spacers for cheaper because they are visually flawed. Check into that, I think they are like $70-80 for the set
