you can get the good ones from perfomance nissan for about 15 more, including shipping.

If a spacer goes wrong while it's on your front wheel it may kill you, I wouldn't trust a no-name in this case.

I don't know if I would trust a no-name spacer with built-in studs.

wheels , brakes, and suspension are very important components. I personally wouldn't trust parts off ebay. but they might be just as good as some other parts. I guess i just like the piece of mind.

The quality of the metal is my main issue, I am sure the machine work is fine, but if the metal supplied is poor quality it won't matter....again, it's only 15 bucks savings.

I agree. They could be cast with a high percentage of sludge metal which could contribute to failure. If they were like half the price or something I could see how it would be a consideration, but running the risk of wrecking for 15 bucks is kind of silly to me.

I just wouldn't trust it myself. Go with something name brand.
