I think they are the same if you ask me.....and these are rated about the best. If you go with a 1.25 or 1.50 spacer/adapter then you would not have to grind the oem studs down....OR depending on what wheel you have you would not have to grind the OEM studs down a tad.
With my ws6 speedlines I had to grind the nubs down just a tad cause they would not align up with the holes on the backside of the wheel. they just barley missed them.
and with the HR's you torque the spacer down just like normal...and the studs are nOT going t break off...they are just as strong as the OEM studs...
I have taken my wheels off to clean them and checked the torque of the spacers and they have not budged.
for $65 i bet your are some generic spacers from ebay....my guess

spacers and adapters are not the same
wheel spacers

wheel adapters

studs break with spacers, not adapters
and mine are top notch, i bought them off a buddy for 65, he paid alot more for them
i just wanted to get what i spent back out of them
