Yay lol i have experience with this being a tire guy for 2 1/2 years. You can get them if you want but they are not trusted. you can torque them down all you want but over time they will still come loose and cause a wheel off. but it is your opinion just throwin in my .02 from working at discount tire

This is something that is holding your wheels so you might wana go with something that you can trust. personally i wouldn't trust any kind of wheel spacers.

I have been running Eibach 1" spacers for 2 years now with no problem. I put a drop of 'blue' loctite and torqued them down to 100 ft/lb. When heated, the loctite will break free. Don't use yellow or red. When rotating my tires, I tried to break one free just to check to see if they were tight. No way these things are backing off by itself.
