everyone seems to use the same aluminum, the design isn't going to change, and unless it's custom they already have the CNC "program". i'm looking at 2 or 2.25 spacers which is a pretty standard size, and most places, inc. skulte stock it. i'm not complaining (yet) about the pricing, just looking for a good reason to spend an extra $150.

Where can you find them cheaper (just curious). I always thought Andris' prices were pretty reasonable compared to 'Vette Brakes spacers (and others I've seen). I got a set of .9" from him with a set of wheels I bought. They actually fit better than a set of 'Vette Brakes spacers I bought several years ago. Dunno if this helps - hopefully it does. BTW, Andris is a really nice guy to talk to - it might be worth calling him if you have concerns. (no affiliation - just know him from F-body get togethers).

there are also a few different guys on ebay who seem competant with the same price. i cut the apparent competance in half when they are on ebay and they still seem ok.
like i said i'm not complaining about the prices or saying that he's a rip off, i'm assuming that there's a reason for it, but what?

I just got a set of 2" adapters, hub centric and wheel centric from motorsport technology out of southern cali. $150 per set, and $25 for shipping. Great product, helpful people (Junior), and looks like they are very sturdy. I've got a set of thin-spoke C5 wheels on my '70 ElCamino, and they fit great with these adapters.

150 per set is that a set of 4 or 2? one thing i like about them is that their spacers are also wheel centric.

$150 for two, $300 for the whole set of 4. Sorry for the confusion...
