Excuse my ignorance but how come they are so expensive? :nenau

As far as I can see they are just a piece of metal that sits in between the alloy and hub to give the wheels a wider stance

 

[puddle hoppers inc.]

they have to be perfectly balanced and machined as to not send the hub out of balance, in yesteryear folk just stuck spacer washers on with longer studs and hoped for the best......

OK that makes sense but still £140 :nenau

 

[puddle hoppers inc.]

yes, quite expensive but thats the going rate tbh!

The material costs £15 each corner to buy then its about £40 ish for the wheel studs and nuts (Grayston engineering) and I make £40 ish a set sounds a lot but not really considering your wheel will not fall off :thumbs
I used to make 10-20 sets a month selling them for all makes of 4x4. I started doing 38mm spacers as nobody did them but the good old foreign lands did the same so I don't bother now as I can't compete with price. Most sold on eBay are very poor quality using cheap aluminium and the studs are not rated tensile steel it recycled crap.
I only make them now for people that have had them before and know me.
The reason I started my engineering business is I was making to much of my own products at work...! :naughty

and much safer than sticking what really is just a big washer behind your wheels, and shortening the amount of wheel stud gripped by the nut. now negotiate a club discount banshee :thumb2:thumb2:thumb2:thumb2
