Grayston wheel spacers

[Apache]

Are they any good?

They seem to be a big name in wheel parts, but their spacers seem a little, erm, cheap compared to roughtrax. (£30 a pair for 30mm)

Other than 'dont look good', or 'not safe', any info to back that up? Just begrudge spendin extra cash without reason. Happy to go the Tony N or Roughrax route for a sound reason though.

There is a 'I lost my wheel' thread that used cheap spacers

They come with 'extension studs' need I go on?

Using my non-technical mind, this thread says not to use the bolt-through type and these appear to be those with either the choice of longer bolts or 'stud extensions' which would terrify me to start with.

But I may have misunderstood somewhere.

OK, nuff said!

How do the Roughtrax ones work then?

You bolt them on to the hubs, then bolt wheels on to them - hence normal loading on the studs rather than twice.

Do pay attention

I know! I brought the subject up in the thread you posted too! Still, it was August and my brain was probably overheated.
