Most of the ones I see are slotted which makes them difficult to get centered unless you can adjust them through the wheel. I have taken studs out of the old cast type and milled them down. I have also made them from scratch with 1/4" aluminum plate, a hole saw, the band saw and a hole template...close enough.

In regards to centering the spacers, I took mine and put several dabs of silicone on the back of them, then centered them on the brake drum, then let it dry a bit and put the wheel on. Worked fine as far as I know!

I like the hubcentric spacers. I have made them in the past, or bought them at times. I have 4" hubcentric spacers on the back of my van with dual tires, and they have been no problem in 10 years of use.
