      Why are Skulte wheel spacers twice as expensive as others?

      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.

      work in progress--for the next 10 years.

      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...
