I've been looking at wheel spacers with intent to add a bit of "stance" to my truck (no, not that ridiculous over-cambered "stance" that ricers like to use, LOL). I'm thinking 2" is a good number, enough to noticeably push the wheels out, but not so much that it's going to thrash the hub bearings in a couple months.
I've been looking at BORA spacers, and they look like pretty nice units with a good reputation. It's gonna cost around $300 for a set of 4, which isn't cheap, but isn't ridiculous either considering the supposed quality.
Now, one can sort out a comparable set of no-name spacers for around $50 on eBay. Quite the price difference.
My gut says, "don't buy the cheapies, ya idiot, you're gonna regret it!" And me, personally, I tend to abide by "you get what you pay for," hence, I'm far more leaning towards the BORA spacers.
BUT, with that much of a price difference, I just can't help but wonder about the quality between the two units. From my experience, one can expect a two-fold price difference to yield a significant difference in quality, but this here's a SIX-fold difference in price.
I'm sure the BORA's are gonna be the way to go, but just for the sake of satisfying my morbid curiosity (that, and it's cold, raining and crappy outside, so it makes for a good time to study such things, LOL), I'm just curious to hear the opinions of anyone here who has had experience with one or the other, or both.
