Speed Industry wheel spacers

[SawZallSurgeon]

Looking at purchasing some spacers 12-13mm front and 15mm rear. I see a lot of people running the Burger Motorsport spacers, but I came across a set from Speed Industry (their brand) that also come with wheel studs which I was looking to purchase as well. Has anyone used/installed these? I’ve never done spacers on one of my vehicles before so I’m unsure where to start. I don’t want to put something subpar on the car and my concern is these are just some rebranded junk from China.

Apex has their studs on sale now, or you can get them from FCP Euro and have free replacements.

Buy the spacers themselves off amazon or ebay. Aluminum is aluminum, and you can get them for less than $50 total (likely less if you shop around).

I think I'm in a total of $150 for studs and spacers using Apex and amazon stuff.

I’ll look into that, thanks!

They are all from China.

I use the KSP Spacers off Amazon on track with no issues. https://a.co/d/cvCcqWB

Fair enough lol. Went to the link you sent but Amazon says they don’t fit the Supra. I know the hub bore is 66.5 and the bolt pattern is 5x112 which matches, but the bore says 66.56. Will that fit? Sorry I’m new to the whole wheel spacer thing so not sure how precise the bore needs to be.

They fit. Those are the same ones on my car.

Umm, no. Although in the case of wheel spacers 6061 will do for a road car and 7075 being best for the track or road. As general info though commercial aluminium comes in a great range of types for various application so take interest in what grade it's made of for anything important.

Don’t tell BBS, Rays, Enkei, Apex, Titan and virtually all other forged aluminum wheel makers that their wheels made of 6061 are no good.

I don't recall saying 6061 wasn't any good.

I‘m well aware of the different series of aluminum. 6061 is going to be what any wheel spacer on the market is made of. No one is going to go out of their way to use 3003 or something in a wheel spacer. 7075 series is also a waste on wheel spacers.

There‘s always technically best, and then real world “this works so no need for more”. In this case, the Amazon and eBay ones work and aluminum is aluminum.

Can any of you with these spacers, or similar ones, post some photos of how they make the car look? Ideally with OEM wheels if can.

No but it makes me think 7075 would be best for track
