Default wheel spacers

Who has wheel spacers for a decent price? What is the difference between the more expensive ones and the cheaper ones? Will any type fit my lug nuts "87 944 na"?

Did you get those 993 wheels?

I saw a guy this weekend at the autocross that had those same wheels on his 944. He had spacers and they fit and worked fine. I asked him what size but he was not sure, looked like a little smaller than an inch (difference is 17mm). You will also need stud bolts as well.

Yes I did buy them. They look fantastic no scratches at all! I got them for 300 for all four.

I drive an 87 944! Wheel Enhancement tells me 15 mm min and 25 mm maximum for the rear. I really need to know where I can get them cheaper then 95 dollars a piece.

I sourced some from a junkyard for my dad's 928. They were corroded pretty bad.

well what is the difference between the cheaper ones and the expensive ones? What is a good price to pay? Does anyone else know where to get decent ones? Should I get the lug studs or the wheel spacers with the studs attached?
