Default Spacer question Ichiba

I searched around and could only find very old threads about the quality of Ichiba spacers that come with the extended studs. I ordered the 10mm kit but I see now in the past people have said the build quality of the studs specifically isn't that great. Making me think I should order H&R instead or has the quality improved over time? Is anybody currently running Ichiba spacers with the extended bolts with no issues?

Thanks.

I'm not running specifically Ichiba or H&R spacers and studs; however, I'm running a setup with the same rationale. I didn't want to go the wheel adapters route because I can't trust the studs that come on those.
I replaced my old studs with APR extended studs and slapped on 15F/20R spacers from eBay (albeit of course - be very careful buying from eBay). Just be mindful to never over-torque your wheels and the spacers won't crack. If you're tracking the car, that's a different story.

The shop that rolled my fenders used an impact gun to secure the roller onto my wheel hub and the spacer still attached; it held up just fine.

I'm running ebay spacers for the past year and no issues.

That was the thread that made me do further research. That shows the dangers of wheel adapters. Spacers with extended studs is the way to go
