Is there a vast difference in the quality of them, I've done a bit of research but there don't seem to have been any issues with a particular brand etc, or have I missed something?

Not sure on quality but the main difference to note is that the cheaper ones are not hubcentric.
That said I have used the cheaper ones without fault on several vehicles.

I bought a set of Bulldog hub centric ones off ebay which were fine

i would say the cheaper ones that are cast aluminium maybe more prone to cracking than the machined aluminium/steel ones

Thanks for the responses. I'll consider my options then, & probably have a look to see if there are any decent used ones around, if not I had been looking at the Bulldog hubcentric ones. ☺

Don't forget a bit of threadlock on the left hand side spacer to hub studs!

I put threadlock on all of them, just to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, Spacers are illegal for road use in all states and territories in Australia, doesn't stop some from fitting but huge insurance issues!

Wheel spacers are for fitting wider wheels with a deeper offset to maintain geometry. NOT for widening the track with standard wheels. Just a thought in cast anyone is doing that.

Or in my case to run disco/RR alloys as they change the bolt spacing/PCD
