Wheel spacers: One design better than other?

While shopping for wheel spacers, I noticed two designs:

1. Eibach/H&R/Ichiba - gives you longer studs
2. Generic spacers with built-in studs



#2 will obv be easier to install, directly to the hub as opposed to installing new studs.

But is one design better than the other? Thanks

those companies also offer the type with built in studs, but extended studs is the way to go unless you need pcd conversion. also imortant is the material. make sure they are cnc machined aluminum and not cast anything.

I had 25mm H&R's with built in studs. worked fine. i dont expect anything less than perfect spacers from H&R and Eibach.

Thanks for the links, although I know it's better to buy a product from a reputable company i.e. H&R or Eibach, the easier install on the eBay spacers is really tempting
