spacers and weight

[Riptide]

Are all spacers pretty much going to weigh the same? Yes I know this (5mm) is a thin spacer and probably won't add much weight but I am looking to avoid adding as much weight as possible.

Cheap ones:

Spendy ones:

Quite the difference in price. What am I really paying for here? TIA

not much, if they are both hubcentric your mostlikely good to go, i have H&R 1 inch spacers on my rear and cheap american muscle 1 inch ones on the front and they were less than half the H&R that are supposed to be superior. putting them side to side, you couldnt tell the difference, weighed the same and feel the same. spacers are spacers if they are hubcentric

IMO^^^^ i should add lol

The american muscle ones don't look hubcentric to me. Not sure how that is supposed to work as far as getting it centered. Seems kinda screwy.

Can a 5mm spacer even be hubcentric?

Apparently so. I found a set of two on amazon that are hub centric.

I am going to run an 18x8 +50 up front with the 5mm spacer. Stock tire. Will tuck in basically stock. If I feel like I want it to poke out more I can swap to a 8 or 10mm spacer.

I'm good with stock up front even with a wider 18x9.5 +45 setup out back. Riptide badger doesn't give a F.
