ddcboyle Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Hey, been looking at wheel spacers and only seem to be 2 brands coming up. Eibach and another (3 letter word cant remember name). Are there any other brands without the high price tag? Im presuming these are made for ibdestructableness on track. But are there others? I know the cheap 4 pound ebay ones are not an option. But it does seem alot they charge for a piece of metal Quote
Marcus01 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Fairly important piece of metal, its got to hold the wheels on under immense stress. Buy the best to save problems in other areas such as brakes. Aluminium comes in many grades Eibech use aircraft spect He15 the best. Quote
fellsteruk Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I am getting some for the rear in a couple months once I have finished the bits I am working on now and going for Eibach seem really well rated and solid quality. As suggested above some bits you don't want to skimp on don't want ya wheels flying off Quote
ddcboyle Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 I wouldnt say its skimping though. Say there was 2 materials you could use. 1 is 100% and wouldnt break. And the other was made from nasa spacecraft metal that is 100%. Their both as good, 1metal us stronger but both do the job. Superforma and ultralite, are they good brands? Quote
Arran Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Imo don't bother with anything other than eibach Said it before its not worth the risk running cheap ones Quote
HARMLU Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 There's a general feeling here buddy! I wouldn't skimp on spacers. Last thing you want is you wheel ripping off or an unbalanced spacer. Eibach eibach eibach Quote

I agree but eibachs are also easier to resale so it works out the same overall. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 So on one thread you discuss affordability of running a Zed and then you continue to mod the car.... Personally I wouldn't run spacers at all as it's money spent purely for looks and potentially worsening the handling. Just my thoughts on it Quote

Just my thoughts on it Im curious for cheaper mods not expensive mods. 50pound a month is a cheap mod to me, but seems wheel spacers wont go any lower than eibach Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 You could always save for the Eibachs and in the meantime look out for 2nd hand ones? These are purely for looks, so you don't have to do them immediately. Quote

These are purely for looks, so you don't have to do them immediately. You do if you have Zeditis Seriously, the guys re right, don't go near anything that isn't Eibach, Tophooker knows what he's talking about Quote

If you can make it through the whole year without a single mod that costs money, your reward is to buy any mod you like with the saved cash 2 Quote

lolzz Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I have H&R and I believe they are just as good as Eibach. But I guess they're not so common in UK (I'm not from here), because no one ever mentions them? Quote
ZEUS Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I've ran with superforma all round (still got them on the front) and had no problems at all and the quality looks good to me. Quote
magicayrton Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Hi everyone, not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask this, but I am after some wheel spacers for my Rays wheels anyone have any for sale or would want to swap for some 245/45/18 bridgestone Re050A's in very good condition or p/ex etc.? cheers Quote
hensh65 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I have eibach on the rear and superforma on the front. Happy with both, it not like superforma are a cheap half the price ebay special or halfrauds number. I agree not a place you want to cheap out on as I wouldn't fancy seeing my wheel over take me but I wouldn't say eibach are the one and only either 2 Quote
