Default Wheels spacers

Hello,

Today we wanted to change brake rotors and pads and we came across a problem. We couldn't loose two nuts on the front wheel spacer. They bit into the spacer so hard that we had to cut it off with grinder. Those nuts are really soft. Do you have some tip what to next time so that it does not happen next time. We didn't over torque before, I'm sure.

But my main question is different. My spacers are from the first link. Is it any difference between spacers from the first and the second link?! Because the price is extremely difference, but the description is the same, material is the same, even one photo from the manufactory is exactly the same. Thank You very much

They look to be cast the same. Id just get he cheaper to be honest. But you you may run into the same issue. The even use the same images on their ad. The 999 one is just a bs ad dude. Dont bother with it. Who in their right mind would pay 1000 for 2 pieces of milled aluminum
