I can understand your concern. Reputable brand to me SOMETIMES just means popular. I work for an industrial pump company, and when it comes to metal being cut and machined for the pumps, we have tolerance. plus or minus about .10" which equals to a little under 3mm, that will work when putting the pumps together. That is my concern when it comes to wheels, will .5mm make a big difference? Spidertrax is probably a reputable brand because they build great products and everyone uses them, which makes them popular. I have used other spacers such as H&R, Ichiba, etc. on all of my previous cars before, but I am sure there is someone out there that will consider those brand not reputable because they have never heard of them. When I searched for wheel spacers, I always look at the material they use to make them and which grade bolts they use to press in. And believe it or not, but there are a lot of companies out there that use the same exact material that those reputable brand you're speaking of uses. Trust me, I am all about reputable brands. There is many companies here in California who replicate Japanese brand wheels that I will never run on my car, because they are not made in the same material and is not heat treated the same way to make sure they are stronger. Sorry for the long response, but thats my take on "reputable" companies.

.5mm comes out to about .020" I don't think that will be enough to cause an issue, not to mention the SpiderTrax have conical lug nuts if I remember right.
