Slide on wheel spacers, Where do I get them?

All I can find is spacers in the bolt on variety and Im not of fan of them. I want a non-universal (those crappy terribly fitting generic things) ~25mm spacer.

I know they're out there, but for the life of me I cant find who actually sells them.

I got a 18mm set from JMfab. I haven't had a chance to use them but look like they fit well.

Those are pretty close to what Im looking for but they only come in hubcentric sizes not suitable for the stock wheels. Guess I might just have to do some research on bolt on spacers as much as I dont like them.

I've got 18x8.5 RPF1's with a +30 offset.. I want to look stanced out as much as possible without stretching tires like a jack*** I have Coilovers already. Should I think about maybe some spacers as well? Also at what point do I need to extend my studs?

Do you know what the weight of those are? Probably insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Im now thinking of just CNCing out a set of my own webbed design if I can justify the weight difference.

Go to www.wheeladapter.com

For $150 you get two spacers that are hub and wheel centric and thickness you want.

anything bigger than ~5mm you should get extended studs

When I order spacers Ill order studs, right now theyre stock studs though.

One reason I want slide-on spacers over bolt on is that I didnt really want to run them on the street. Though, it probably wouldnt make a difference but I want to be able to remove them if Im not on the DOT slicks.

I got a price of $130 for the pair from motosport-tech.

I'm currently running 22mm spacers with ARP studs for my slicks. They were bolt on but I pressed out the studs so they just slide on. Hub centric. $75 shipped on ebay and they use high quality alum. 1.25lb each. No problems trapping 135mph.

Hubcentric is probably why theyre more. I dont need hub centric for an autocross only wheel.
