i cheked them already , they look cool tho , i really dont understand the deal about the naming , cause some people call them spacers other adapters , i personally think that when they use the same bolt pattern should be spacers if they are to be used on different pattern then should be called adapter IMO...
Incorrect.
It IS a spacer.
Let me explain it you...
Spacers move the wheel outboard from the OEM position.
Adapters change the wheel bolt pattern.

An adapter bolts onto the hub and is secured on its own, then allows the wheel to bolt to it, which eliminates the chances of things moving around, they still need to be properly torqued but like a normal wheel. It's not a big deal. with the lug pattern changing or not its an adapter because it bolts and has a new pattern, even if its the same one.

well , as i stated before and agreeing with Serius , i still think those are spacers until bolt pattern doesn't change , the thing is that if you are using 1.25" spacers or wider how are you going to bolt them on stock lugs think about it pal!!

It really depends who you ask, and what "company" you talk to. I know that spacers (slip over the lugs) are illegal in Utah, and adapters (bolt to it) are not. Utah state law states spacers slide over the lugs. adapters bolt on, weather the pattern changes or not its still an adapter as it bolts on. Not getting into a pissing match. Just stating it as it has been to me. however After searching for a few mins, some company's list it your way, some mine.
Just Clarifying my earlier comment.

This is a wheel/disc brake spacer commonly used by ricers.

This is a spacer commonly used by knowledgeable Jeep owners to space their wheels farther outboard. It is a spacer contrary to Gorrila's firm beliefs.

I guess AlloyUSA is wrong in calling their spacers "Spacers".
And these guys too...

Gorilla needs to get busy and let them know that their spacers aren't really spacers.
