Go with no name brand. What's the worse that could happen right? Your wheel falling off while taking a corner at 50 mph shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Spacers aren't expensive to begin with just buy the ichiba. I've not heard any problems with that brand.

Go with H&R or Ichiba V2.

I would advise against going cheap with wheel spacers. There are plenty of quality spacers out there that are fairly priced. I personally have h&r and although not cheap, they did not break the bank either. Peace of mind was something I was willing to pay a premium on. Good luck!

i'd say go with h&r. no brand spacers are usually poorly made

Cheap wheels spacers can also be unbalanced and cause steering wheel vibrations.
I vote Ichiba or H&R

H&R

I guess brandname and quality its thanks guys

I have kics, ichiba, eibach, h&r. They all work fine. The eibach seems to be lightest of them all followed by h&r. Ichiba is a chinese(?) copy of the kics. Not at the level of craftsmanship but functionally no issue.

Spacers are not very expensive and I wouldn't risk safety over a cheaper no brand name. H&R DRS (safer) would do the job but I believe the max you could go with them is 20mm. The DRM go up to 25mm but are not as safe as the DRS. Pls check the Stillen site.
