Where to Buy the Best 5×114 3 Spacers 15mm?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished Ford Ranger aluminum spacers to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the spacers to make sure that they meet the design specifications. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Experience
BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114 3 spacers 15mm are machined with heat dissipation grooves. Distributed in petal shape, these heat dissipation grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat to actively dissipate heat for the braking system.
2. Forged Aluminum with Hard Anodized
BONOSS forged 5×114 3 spacers 15mm are made of 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. These aluminum alloy rim spacers are protected by naturally occurring oxide film and have incredible corrosion resistance. What’s better is that BONOSS applies a special black hard anodized surface treatment. This ensures a surface of unparalleled corrosion resistance.
3. Disassembly Grooves for Fast Removal
For a better user experience, BONOSS forged active cooling 5×114 3 spacers 15mm come with disassembly grooves. The disassembly grooves refer to the small slots on the corner. Simply use a flat-head screwdriver and place it on one notch. Pound a hammer on the screwdriver at a 45-degree angle. It should come off pretty easily.
