Now before you go off ranting and slandering on another company to boast your company, I suggest looking a little harder. No offense. They do make hub-centric wheel spacers and adapters and these are not cheap eBay, made in China/offshore spacers. They are made right here in North America

No slander here. I apologize fully for missing that. I looked at just the custom adapter page and did not see that option. Also i did not say they were china or ebay, i just said a lot of guys on forums complaining about vibrations after buying "universal" kits from ebay and the likes.

Ya I know, I was just letting people here know that they know their not cheap eBay/china spacer. Not implying that you thought they were. Ya I have heard a lot of horror stories from cheap spacers/adapters from studs snapping or getting stripped from over tightening which are a total b***h to take off. Working in a wheel/tire shop for a number of years I've seen it all LOL. When it comes to spacer/adapters do the research and spare no expense. It could save your life

Well said. I have no issues with other properly built spacers from competitors. As you said, it will literally save your life.

Your setup looks NICE. very unique.

I have since sold the SC, but I just bought a 93 ES300 and I still have my old adapters and a set of SawBlades, I wonder how they will look. Pics will be posted soon.
