Default Where Did You Get Your Wheel Spacers?

I need a set of spacers in the range 7mm to 10mm for my 997.1 (with the obligatory extended silver bolts)
These will bring my rear wheels out to the required 15mm +/-1 from stock.

I see most people using ECS Tuning and Sharkwerks.

Any other makes / recommendations?

Thnks

+1 on Adaptec. They offer hub centric spacers in the sizes you are interested in.

no reason to pay high retails for cnc cut aluminium blocks, look on ebay , there are spacers and lugs all the same or better quality as brand names

Ecs is good quality and not overpriced.

The ebay/amazon stuff might be fine if you get a good seller. To others point, cutting aluminum isn't hard. But junk cnc machines don't have the same tolerances and they might not include the proper center bore or required lip after 5mm.

You typically with the quality spacers get the necessary extended bolts too.

Adaptec. They're one of the few companies that offer the important wheel centering flange on a 7mm spacer. RUF was the only other one I was aware of, but their could also be others.
