Science Abuse Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Why is it that 5x4.25"~5" sized wheel spacers can be has under $10, but as soon as you want metric it jumps to $70/pr? I just need a pice of 1/4" metal with holes in it, for the love of christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 You just answered your question, metric. I wouldn't use the Mr.Trashit spacers personally, I'd spend the dime on the Baer spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 You just answered your question, metric. I wouldn't use the Mr.Trashit spacers personally, I'd spend the dime on the Baer spacers. I must ask: Why? They take compression, no other forces. They don't need precision balance since they're right on the axis. Granted, I'm not just going to stack washers up on the lugs, but it really doesn't need to be rocket science. It's a slab of metal with holes in it. I fully plan to draw one up and send it to one of our metal shops when I get back to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Not necessarily, no. Then I see no reason to get the expensive spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
