bencider Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Hi.. Does anyone know if the direnza spacers are any good? https://www.direnza.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/8262/s/nissan-wheel-spacers-5x114-3-20mm-blm-note8-m12x1-25-66-1mm-forged-al-6061-t6/?___SID=U Edited April 3, 2017 by bencider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencider Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Sorry this was supposed to be in the 350 section but I guess it does not matter on this topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Had a look into these while comparing spacers and although cheap, I didn't find anything bad about them - people seem to use them without problems. That being said, where it involves a connection to your wheels, something that, if fails, isn't gonna end well, I was sceptical about spending so little. I mean, there must be a reason why the more expensive ones are more expensive other than just paying for a name, surely? There's a group buy on Torqen spacers at the moment, which you might be interested in. Tad more expensive, but your call whether you think it's worth the extra or not.

bencider Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Thanks bud, totally agree not a place I want to skimp on.. I am on the group buy list.. But cars off road until I get some.. And I was wondering because there must be some sort of safety standards meaning they must be safe and of quality to use? Same alloy, studs etc? Ideally I'll hold out for the group buy. These were a backup plan Edited April 4, 2017 by bencider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Try this seller for cheap genuine Eibachs, at that price, no need to risk it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281938347573 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The Z doesn't look that bad without spacers It's like engine oil, they may all be synthetic 5W-30 and meet the same standards, but there is a huge range of prices with no other discernible difference between them. However, we tend to go for more expensive variants rather than cheaping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The Z doesn't look that bad without spacers But it does look a lot better with them! On the subject of cheap spacers, I just can't get visions out of my head of poorly fitted or low grade studs popping out, maybe paranoia, but peace of mind is priceless.

Strudul Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The Z doesn't look that bad without spacers But it does look a lot better with them! No doubt, but I'd rather have my Z on the road, even without spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke0549 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I ran 30mm spacers that were from china and non hub centric. The wheel only fell off once - and that was because i didnt tighten it properly. Done mallory park and a trip to the nurburgring and about 15k miles. - Think ive still got them somewhere actually... So buying cheaper ones are fine.

Strudul Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Cheap ebay specials can be fine and expensive ones can fail, but you pay extra to reduce the risk. You may never have an issue, you may get some wobble and have to replace them, or you may have a catastrophic failure and injure / kill someone, leaving you wishing you'd spent an extra £40. Not saying it's necessarily wrong to cheap out, but it's a relatively small price to pay for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencider Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks all.. Yea I know what you all saying.. I'm not looking for cheap spacers.. Just wondered more about the brand as they were a back up should I need to get some.. In this case it's not for looks BTW.. I actually do need then to clear the brakes so I can't even get on road without haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
