Spacers Help

Hey all, I did searches (here, and Google) and couldn't actually find a reliable, non-eBay link to find wheel spacers! Car is in the sig - I'm looking for 15mm spacers all around. Anyone have a link to buy of spacers that'll work?

I have used these in 15 mm on both the XFR and F-Type for several years now without a single problem.
Just as good as the "brand" ones like H&R but half the price.

Both offer high quality 15mm wheel adapters (plain and anodized) that fit the F-Type.

Any other sources? None of these inspire confidence...

What seems sketchy to you? I bought as part of a group buy but didn't install the Motorsport Tech 15mm adapters (not spacers). They're quality pieces, but I simply decided I didn't want them at the time and sold them to another forum member.

I've used ebay spacers with no issues. Spacers are pretty simple.

I have been running the ones from Motorsport Tech for 4 years without issue. Even quite a few track days with them.

I have used both sources for the F-Type. Always perfect fit, though the Studs on the car had to be ground down by 3mm to accommodate the Gyrodynes. That’s a wheel issue, not an adapter issue. As you will hear, lots of forum members have used the Motorsport Tech units.

Call them. I don’t think the Jag adapters are actually posted on their site.

Talking to a live person can be a very enriching experience.

In person, sure. On the phone, it's hell.

Hopefully, not so much with a smaller company. On the other hand, my home phone has been out of order for 4 months, because I don't want to navigate Verizon's phone system and then have to wait for a tech to appear for an appointment.

Lenny (Motorsport Tech) used to have an email address on the website. I'm not sure if it's still there, but he's a good guy so just give him a call. Also to note, you won't get the price you may have seen here on the forum for the spacers. It was around $240 or so for the GroupBuy. Individual sets outside of the GroupBuy are around $285 (not a huge difference, but it should be noted).
