Default Spacers - Hub-centric worth it?

Guys,

After talking with MikeLoc I wanted to see what everyone else thought about the spacers. There are spacers for $8 and there are spacers for $70. Obviously the more expensive are the hub-centrics.

Do you think it is worth the extra $62 for the hubs??

Discuss please

Jonny

If you want to avoid vibrations, then get the hubcentric ones. Some say that if you mount the wheels right, you don't need the hubcentric ones. There is always room for error. For an extra $62, you don't have to think about it.

I used t he 8 dollar spacers that you find on ebay and i must tell you that you dont feel vibrations driving on low speeds 20-30mph but once you past 50mph you feel like your wheel is about to fall off. My tires were well balanced and ii did not feel any vibrations until i put on the spacers.
I would suggest the extra money to have the hub centric spacers, they should make a difference.
