This is a "hubcentric" spacer...

Feirny knows the score. No spigot on the spacer.

LOL!!
These are from Malice's friend, who makes and sells them. He's doing very well. 2 months ago I ordered 2x 25mm and 2x30mm anodised. A month later, 2x 20mm and 2x 25mm raw metal spacers arrived. He offered to send the correct order out, which arrived today after another month, and I found that gem in the box.
Oh and that's still a razor sharp edge too
Google hubcentric spacer and then do a facepalm
lol that seems to be a pretty major fail?
It's not ideal.

Not the best recommendation from Alice then. lol.
Put it this way, I won't be using him for my PCD adaptors.
It's not the end of the world, actually. As long as you ensure the wheel is centralised when bolting it up, it'll be fine. My (very expensive) H&R spaces obviously came with a lip, but my aftermarket wheels had a PCD which was a little large, and I (like a lot of others) didn't bother with spigot rings. Never had a single issue with wobble/killing people, and the car was tracked and driven hard. The bolts take all the strain, just bolt them up
Yeah, I've not had my wheels sat on a spigot for the past year, but that's not the point. I paid for hubcentric spacers, not that piece of s**t that arrived.
Also, the spigot will take SOME of the load off the studs if the wheel is sat on it, you can't escape that fact. It makes it less likely you'll elongate the bolt holes and also helps reduce the vibration by bolting the wheel central to the hub without the need for f**king about centralising it

Cheers mate. Emailed him earlier anyway.
Spoke to him he is very sorry, first set he accepts liability for... Second set he says the anodisers damaged that it was a full set with te spigots but anodisers dropped or damaged and snapped the ring off... He has made another set which have been sent for anodising and then will be sent to you... He Sent the broken ones as he thought atleast for now you could use them...
Sorry it's been issues and I wouldn't of recommend him if I thought it would be this much issue... But hopefully it's sorted now....

I got an email this morning saying the same thing. I won't run that spacer though, plenty are happy doing it but not me, got enough wobble up front as it is.
