What do you guys think about this?

I suggest some brand names u can trust, such as H&R spacers or Ichiba spacers. They do run in the avg of $100+/pair. just my 2 cents.
 
I believe Alan said he used these and had no complaints. If you think about it, it's just a piece of metal, so as long as it stays centered it should work fine. Of course it's not something to play around with. Personally, I'd get H&R, Ichiba, or Project KICS used for cheaper than new if possible, just to be safe.
 
There's nothing to worry about, it's just machined aluminum and as long as the tolerances are correct and it fits, you're fine. The only area there might be concern is if they cheap out on the hardware; the wheel studs and so on. But I doubt that's the case since it just doesn't make sense and the hardware isn't that expensive to begin wth.
 
Not worth the savings IMO. H&R is a reputable company and TUV approved. I just installed some this past weekend and am really happy with them. The look is better for sure. Since I put the rear in only (waiting for some more stuff to do the front) I was surprise at how the straight stability improved.
 
I think you should go for it. I've also seen H&R's for sale around that same price. Sometimes if you see a deal, you should go for it. The seller looks pretty legit too.

My question is...is there really a noticable difference between 16mm and 20mm spacers? I haven't really seen any pictures or read anything between the differences from anybody.
 
I wouldn't worry too much that it is not a brand name. Spacers are not complicated things but require precision. I would buy these if I needed a spacer.

These parts were most likely NOT made by hand. They were probably machined using a program that chugs out a bunch of these things on a computer controlled milling machine. As long as the machine tolerances and the materials are good, the spacer will do it's job. You are counting on the seller for quality control here - meaning you trust that the part was machined and inspected by somebody to confirm they meet dimensions.

With any spacer there is the chance they will cause vibrations or change the balance. Even with Ichiba or H&R it is not a guarantee that these spacers will be perfect.
 
If you're running OEM wheels, you won't notice a difference visually. The wheels are so tucked in normally that you won't notice a 4mm difference. You would only be able to see 4mm if you were already running a crazy aggressive setup and the wheels were pretty close to the fenders.

In terms of driving feel, I don't think 4mm makes any difference. On my previous Lexus I swapped between no spacer, 5mm and 10mm spacer trying to get the fitment I wanted. I noticed a slight difference with the 10mm spacer compared to no spacer, but putting the 5mm on, I couldn't feel any difference in how the car drove.
