    Maybe because if you use the cheapo ones your wheel could come off?

    Understand that it's always a roll of the dice buying no-name Chineseum stuff on AMZ or wherever. The two biggest concerns for me would be metallurgy and fit tolerance.
    Do you want to roll the dice on a component that keeps your wheels from falling off?
    If you're dead set on doing that, (going cheap) stick with a known brand like KSP that has some history.
    For a DD/pavement princess/mall crawler that will rarely if ever do any serious offroading, you'll probably be fine. But then again...you might not.

    I've had good luck with spacers.
    All in street CAR applications with relatively light weight wheel and tire combos and vehicles weighing less than 3500 pounds. So, much less stress than what a full size truck with heavy wheels and tires is going to see.

    If you want quality, get spidertrax spacers. I have 2 sets im willing to sell. 1 months old. Still deciding on what to ask for.

    Go with the spiderytrax spacers I’ve had good luck with them or Bora spacers either way can’t go wrong

    better safe than sorry
