ally wheel spacers, from what i believe, and heard of, was they were comming loose, as the alloyheats up and cools down at a quicker rate than the disk brake and all, causing a rapid expansion and shrinkage, youd be better off with a material with similar properties to that of its mounting points.

but if its only gunna be used off road, then i dont see many dramas....

thats all what i have heard
