Default Quality wheel spacer?

My larger front brakes & Boyd wheels require me to run a small (1/8") spacer behind the front wheels. I am concerned with the quality of these, and I am wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for some quality spacers?

The current ones were picked up used, locally - no idea of their original source (they look like ones you can get from JEGS). They fit very loosely around the hub & wheel studs...

TIA...

H&R, but they only make 10mm or larger . . . .

whatever brand mine are (generic) I just make certain they are centered while I torque the wheels on.

Doug Rippie makes smaller spacers - not sure about 1/8", but they'll have a 1/4" AFAIK. Pricey, but nice - very comparable to the H&R's.

Thanks for the replies. Skulte doesn't seem to make anything that small. Fulton - can you post/PM a link?
Thanks again...
