Wheel spacers that aren't secured to the hub by bolts are called slip-on wheel spacers. Wheel spacers that are secured to the hub by bolts are called bolt-on wheel spacers.

Use your head man, i guess i should have stated: I dont care for slip on spacers at all,but if your gonna use them at least make sure they are hubcentric. Dont be an idiot.
I have seen certain people going as far to use slip on wheel spacers, and a stack of washers on each stud just to get that "herra frush" look. pretty smart eh? Thats the exact reason i dont care for this fad. Who knows what some retarded kids are seeing other people doing and trying to copy on the cheap?
When you use a 5mm slip-on wheel spacer, you're still going to leave part of the hub exposed to the wheel. So it's still hubcentic. Even if you're using a spacer that's not hubcentric, it'll center it's self when you tighten down the lugs. But, that's only if you're using the appropriate lug nuts. Ball seat lugs for stock wheels, cone seat lugs for aftermarket wheels.
I'm not a fan of the washers either. I don't think you can get the same thickness on all 4 or 5 studs without machine work. But based on your post, I can tell you're still very new to modding cars. There's always going to be a cheap imitation of every product out there. If you're not a fan of flush wheel fitment because of one person that uses washers to space their wheels out, you should just stop modding your car. You're going to hate your car after seeing what others do to there's.
Who cares? The wheels definitely were not perfectly good. And he taped everything off. From what I've seen he had no over spray. You wouldn't even know he painted them like that if he hadn't posted about it.crazysol;233381 wrote:Isnt this the guy who stripped and painted his perfectly good wheels while on the car.speed;233372 wrote:
