This thread is really market research. I made one set for my car and thought there might be a market for them. The reason I call them universal is because they will fit any bolt circle. They are 1/2’ thick which is nice too because a lot of the ones available now are only 5mm or 10mm. I would appreciate any feedback. What seems like a fair price? Disclaimer: Don’t ever use spacers (especially thick ones) without the proper length bolts/studs. If you can’t tell by the picture they are actually 5 individual pieces for each wheel. ---

I Can’t bore engines. Pretty much anything else I can do.(Within reason) As far as tolerances - +/-.0002" We make airplane parts so car parts are well within our realm.🙂 We are looking at quoting a part that weighs 1400lbs right now. We have never done anything that large.:biglaugh: Our large mill is 40" x 20 x 16?" Our large lathes are 12" chuck I have finally hired a photog to get more pictures of our capabilities on our website. ---

I would be interested in your product, but do you make a 4 lug version? Honestly they whould be priced about 1/2 to 1/3 or less of comparable one piece units. ---

Ummmmmm, I assume you are joking. Did you see the picture? I will have to check how much 1/2" cost. The nice thing about these is the versatility. It seems I am always changing cars and wheels. > [@Viper966](#): > > isn’t your audi hubcentric?? So how did u manage that? Especially with the bolts That is the funny part, I actually made wheel adaptors that have studs AND I stacked spacers on those. The parts I (my company) made are so exact that I don’t need hub rings.:pimp: I should get a picture of all these parts put together like a precision club sandwich.:biglaugh: If you saw it you would be like :jawdrop:“I can’t believe that works!” ---

> [@93dx--hatch](#): > > where were you when I need 5X130 spacers. I might need spacers for the front too, I’ll let you know They could also be turned to your spec thickness for extra :pimp: fit. My wheel base is 2" wider (and 2" lower with the coil overs) ---

Nice concept. This is kind of OT but would you be able to turn out a set of hubcentric rings? I hate having plastic ones. Even though I know that once the lugs are tight the wheel isnt moving, it just bothers me. ---

For price comparison, 15mm H&R hubcentric spacers run about $95/pair. ---

^1/2" thick? These would be quite a bit cheaper.(Like half) Like I said I don’t even use hub centric. Maybe with cheap wheels you need them.:gotme: It seems like in this day and age any wheel company should be able to machine a concentric bolt circle.:bloated: ---

^Don’t you recognize Aluminum when you see it?😃 They are much lighter than the rings because there is less un-needed material. Good selling point, thanks. ---

lol I happened to have the density of steel in front of me at the time what is alloy? i think it’s around 2.8g/cc or something like that ---

Yeah, I mean I can sell them individually or a set of 8 or 10 or 16 or 20 or w/e. I haven’t determined price yet because it is really quantity sensative. If I end up making 1000 of them at a crack they will be much cheaper than if I only make 50 of them. I can anodize them in flashy colors too.:pimp: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-wheel-spacers-universal/53970.md?page=2)
