because ppl have to much time on there hands.
i've been using sppacers for the last 6 months and not had one issue with a tyre falling off or anything for that matter. even had a cop look strait past them when pulled over for random RWC, he was cheaking the tyres weight rating to see if it was suitable for the car they were on. if they miss them that close i dont see how else they would know you had them.

The bolts do not have as much thread when tightened.. apparently this increases the changes of them coming undone.
I have heard it is a fairly good risk of getting a work order, but it would depend on the rims as to how noticable they are. How many mm are you thinking about? |

It depends on what sort and so forth rather than saying yes they are legal you can use them and then specifying what sort ect they just say no there illegal some of the correct ones out there a quiet good but could you imagine if they were legal and youd get some faark whits thatd use washers and say well spacers are legal and thats what washers are.

I researched this yesterday actually.
I found the was a document re,ease adviding all hub adaptors are illegal. However Porsche wide bodies run these standard. I have located a high quality set for $300. (They sold on ebay for $312)
