If you have good bolts and proper torque the spacer is sandwiched between wheel and the hub and it is not going anywhere branded or unbranded unless your bolts break off then it does not matter if you have branded or unbranded spacer. With that being said I don't see reason why overpay for fancy brand name something this simple, but that is just my experience and opinion, everyone is entitled to their own.

In the middle of the page 5 there is pictures of what happened to the spacers. |
I'm not saying that things like that don't happen but if you google there are plenary examples of branded spacers on the web as well with issues like that, it happens both ways. There is always a variable at play when your are putting aftermarket part on vehicle and you have to be aware of that.
