Default Came across these Wheel Adapters

I picked up a pair of 25mm spacers for my rear stock 17's and wanted to pick some up for the front. I just googled it and came across these http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Ada.../5450-5450.htm
Has anyone heard or used there? I was also debating between 15mm and 25mm for the front. What your opinons on the adapters i came across and what size for the fronts?

not too sure if they are hubcentric or not, it doesn't specify.

aftermarket wheels dosent come hubcentric too, unless you get a hub ring. it would be ok for people who dosent care for hub rings with aftermarket wheels.

Good point. I don't even know if my aftermarket wheels are hubcentric. I have to look, and get hub rings.

taeng: get hubcentric, it's for safety purposes.

safety definitely first... but ride quality as well... my personal experience has shown that 75% of cars with aftermarket wheels ride like crap unless the wheel is hubcentric or uses a centering ring...
