I want to share a negative experience I had with wheel spacers bought off Amazon. I bought this product here. As to why I bought these vs others - I wanted them quickly and these came with overnight shipping, good reviews and great price. So what could go wrong?!
One of the studs sheared off while driving. I had torqued them to spec of circa 105ft lb. The stud broke after less than a 100 miles or so of onroad driving. Correction - I found the broken off stud/lug nut in my yard. So it must have popped off just after I mounted it.
Supposedly they are 12.9 grade... Not sure about that.
I've ordered these here from Trailgear now, hoping they will be better.
What is the best place to buy quality lug nuts? I'd prefer them in black like the others. I need at least 1 to replace the lost one
