Are they the cast ones? Most people run them but the billet ones are better. I've not bought spacers from bits4vits but I have ordered stuff from Dave there before, hes a nice chap and all the bits I've bought from him have been top notch, if you have questions you can find him on difflock, his username was k9rdj - I think!

You mean these?
I have a set of those I took off a pair of Sammy axles I robbed off a junker before it got weighed in. Personally I wouldn't trust them - they feel flimsy. If it's an offroad only toy, you might be ok - but I personally wouldn't put them on a road car - they're HOLLOW for goodness sake!
Save your money. Get some wheels with more backspacing instead. Less to go wrong.

I've had the Grayston wheel spacers on mine for 4 years now with no problems.
I got mine 2nd hand for £20 for the set though

I'll be honest, when I was looking at wheel spacers I went for the billet one, they looked much stronger and just felt better, I got mine from bits4vits and they were great (whilst I ran them)

I do and I would, but I had to cut one of the extended studs off, so it's only got 19, not 20. I have no idea whare you'd get a replacement.
Probably bitz4vits...
Find out how much a replacement stud costs, and if it's not £silly then I suppose I can't see any reason not to sell them to you - I'll take photos so you can see what condition they're in.
