Assuming same material used, does brand of spacer matter?

I accidentally ordered MAD spacers for my G26, instead of H&R, and I was very upset about this. I requested cancellation, but upon further reading, I discovered that these spacers are built from the exact same material as the H&Rs, and they’re 60 a pair VS 100 a pair for H&Rs. Should I just go with it? Or will H&Rs assuredly be of better quality?

Nah generally all the same crap. The only thing i try to make sure is that they are hub centric spacers to reduce load on the lug bolts

The precision of the piece is just as important as the material. For instance, if there is a slightly wider side or imperfect bolt hole, it could lead to stress on the lug bolt.

You bring up a good point. Some generic spacers are not precisely machined flat so jt can introduce a wobble into the wheel when driving.
