Accidentally ordered "MAD" spacer instead of H&R... will it be less safe on my car?

Couldn’t find reviews so I have no idea what to expect or if this may fail on me unlike H&R. Or should I cancel the order and wait a few business days for refund… to order H&R

Here is the product description:
Our Hub centric wheel spacers are CNC machined from high grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and anodized black. Offered as a set of 2 and come in 3 sizes 10mm, 12mm and 15mm. (2 Sets Needed for one vehicle front and rear) Extended Wheel bolts are included. No additional hardware is needed.

Like all MAD products, we offer wheel spacers with a lifetime warranty

Mad seems like a decent company. Not sure why these would fail over other brands.

Shouldn’t fail at all, both are high quality metals. You should be fine. I wouldn’t cancel.

MAD spacers ,Hub centric wheel spacers are CNC machined from high grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and anodized black.


H&R that is lighter and has a higher tensile strength than 6061-T6 billet aluminum

Only major difference between the two is the type of metal. Billet is better but seems like Mad compensates for it using a higher grade aluminum. To me would be the same like Randy said not sure why MAD would fail

In the "T6 condition" (both metals heat-treated with a solution and aged), aluminium 7075 T6 has a tensile strength nearly double that of 6061 T6 aluminium. 7075 alloy also has a higher shear strength which is about 1.5 times that of 6061 alloys in the same T6 condition.

Hope this helps with your decision
