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.

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
