It looks like the VLT has a bigger hub ring size... If a bigger steel made hub ring been pushed into a smaller aluminum spacer, it will peel off the paint. And if the car hub ring height is more than the depth of the 15mm spacer center hole, it will force out the spacer hub ring. The spacer hub locating ring is designed to locate the rim, the studs will take the hits. Please contact with KPG, and we will keep an eye on this case. Tks

Recently purchased a pair of the AF Racing 15mm Hubcentrics for my VLT...as I torqued these up, I noticed the paint cracking around the edge of the hub locating ring where it meets the spacer...once they were fully tightened, I noticed the hub locating ring had completely broken away from the spacer! Snapped clean off, did the same thing on both sides...material looks like cheap crap!
Bought from KPG on eBay, currently trying to sort this out, not feeling terribly confident about driving on them!

I know the role of the hub ring, I paid $40-$50 more for these over the spacers without the locating ring...now that the ring has broken clean off, I'm left with a non Hubcentric spacer which I could have got for $50 through another seller, not $100 through KPG...My car actually runs VT/VX brakes/hubs, so exactly what model Commodore do they fit? And can you advise refund/return policy in this case as this is not my fault the units are damaged. Thanks.

Anyone know what's going on withAFracing? Their site seems to be down. Wondering if I could get some 20mm or 15mm spacers for a VZ commodore?

Hmmm that's interesting, wasn't able to access it on my phone for like a day or two. Good to see its back up and running, now i was just wondering, i need spacers for the front of my VZ commodore, but primarily i was wondering you guys had conducted any strength testing on your product? Also what material is it constructed off? and is there any warranties?
Cheers guys.
