Default Billet Wheels spacers?

Anyone know where I can get the good Billet Wheels spacers that slide over the studs. Not the bolt on's

I have seen them on a few road race cars is why I am asking here

I know I need two 14mm-16mm so far

Ellis I typically see these spacers on big brake kits. Mov'it and Stoptech both stock them I believe. The spacers on my Prospeed kit are aluminum, they seem to be fine after all this time. This kit is no longer made though. I know that the Mov'it kits come with steel spacers, not sure on the Stoptechs

Hey RH
Unless they changed stuffed the Movits are Billet Alu.

Try H&R Sport Spring, they also have Billet Spacers. Hope your not RR with those rims

I thought I remembered JonA saying his Mov'its had a steel spacer ? He's had his brakes for a few years now so probably wouldn't be subject to recent changes.

LOL Nope not RR on them. They are my drag wheels. My SOLO II wheels are wrapped in Nitto 555RIIs

I posted here becuase I have seen the spacers I am looking for on a few RR cars

Thanks guys. I surfed for hours last night to no avail. All I found were the Bolt on's and they won't work with this wheel and a 16mm spacer.

Ross Corrigan in BC used to Sell them but I can not find his addy.

Getting there!

NHRA Regulates no more then a singal spacer per wheel. I think SCCA and other bodys are the same? So I need to find some that are 16mm thick Trying to find the slip ons so I can swap back to my Street and RR wheels with out a big hassle

Thanks Roy!

Thanks Roy!

I had an Idea today. I will get the Bolts and remove the bolts! They are pretty spendy but it would get me what I need

Thanks!

No problem on the spacers. Reforger 89 cool... Reforger 88 was my first. It's AWSOME, alot has changed since then. The one constant is the high speed autobahn driving Roy got me started running a the Hockenheim Ring last year..it's a blast ! It's nice to be able to run the Firechicken at 130mph plus at will and not have to worry. The BEER is still OUTSTANDING !!
