2 things wrong.
  1. Mu-gen (this implies the item truly isn't Mugen, but rather a knock off they called Mu-gen)
  2. Style (one of the key words sellers use to protect themselves from implying the item is authentic)

So yeah, fake. PS, https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=14880576

For something between 10-15mm, I think people generally use the ones with replacement studs. At 10-15mm, without replacement studs, the existing studs won't have enough room for your wheels to safely mount. Note, safety is the number 1 concern with spacers... so don't make any compromises here, and know what you're getting into.

At 20mm+, you have some other options, such as the adapters that have pressed in studs.

In any case, I recommend H&R. They are a reputable brand, and I've only heard good things about them. Other brands that make spacers have had horror stories, such as Ichiba and Akata.

Also, make sure you get hubcentric spacers. Running spacers will already add extra stress to your lugs, and you do NOT want your wheels to be lug-centric, or the lugs will likely break and (potentially life threatening) bad things may happen.

I approve. If you're installing these yourself, make sure you torque everything to spec. You do not want your wheels falling off because you tried to make your wheels look flush! That would be 80 ft lbs. Good luck!

I bought a set from one of the vendors on the site... They are holding up well and are powder coated black, look very clean.
