disregard those tacky comments; if you never take off your rims, other people will never know you have spacers.

A couple reason why not to get them are more unnessary parts which also mean more things to go wrong. If they are not made perfectly or installed correctly you will get vibration of the wheel and all sorts of nasty stuff. Just imagine if you installed your rims a hair off center, it would be fine and you would not notice. But when spacers come into the situation: when you install the spacers an hair off center then the rims are also installed a hair off center. This will cause twice the amount of error allowed in the wheel, causing unnessary vibration and ulimitly leading to spacer failure.

A couple things you MUST do are 1) apply loctite to all the perminate lugs. 2) tighten down properly with a torque wrench 3) check on the spacers every 10, 50, 100 miles to make sure nothing has worked its way lose.

Recomended things to do are to get new harden steel studs and tighten them down properly with loctite. Alot of people over tighten them and strip them out and then blaming the spacers.
