Default Recommend me a good wheel spacer wtb

Can someone recommend me a good wheel spacer? Looking for a set 5mm spacers. Or if you have a set you want to get rid of let me know.

I'll dissent I like my cheap $25 ebay spacers. It's just a round piece of aluminum with some holes in it. I'm using 6mm in the rear. That's as much as you can get away with on stock lugs to have good thread engagement. None of the lugs have loosened up from the spacers settling, though you should always check the torque after a few miles with any spacer.

I don't know if the hubs center the wheel to a greater tolerance than what the seat of the lugnuts do, but I haven't had any wheel balance vibrations at speed. At least, that I can detect.

You have to be careful with front spacers. 7mm or more will likely not be hub centric and make it hard to get the wheel perfectly centered.

Here is a thread I started a few years ago on the subject.
