I actually bought my spacers from someone off this site, but there are a couple of places that sell good quality spacers. Performance Nissan does, as well as many of the vendors on here.

Thanks everyone for your input!!!

The Ichiba spacer are nice, but the cheap hub bolts have alot to be desired, they dont have the good corrosion resistance like the factory ones and H&R since they arent aluminized. Ive run into alot of rust with those hub bolts, snap a few of them also because when they were being loosened they became cross threaded somehow on its way out.
What i do agree with is your statement about using spacers that have hub bolts built into them, i dont feel as those are a good setup either as many of them like Project Mu ones are not hubcentric and allows the hub bolts to carry all of the car's loads instead of the hub.
One thing is that many spacers below 20mm does not allow enough thickness to clear the factory hub bolts so you can mount your wheels on. That's unless your wheels have the hollow sections in between the hub bolt holes for the excess stud length to clear.

I hear ya - so far I have not had any rusting issues with them, though I did have one set where the knurl just didn't want to grab and we stripped a whole bunch trying to install them. Contacted Ichiba, and they expressed us out a new set free of charge and without hassle, which, as you probably know nowadays, is alot
I haven't snapped any yet though, or had any other issues. We've used H&R ones too, and they've worked out great as well (we run them on both our BMW IT cars)
