25mm Spacers

I'm looking for a set of 25mm spacers. I had settled on BNE style but they've been out of stock for going on a year now and I haven't gotten a response to my email. Is anyone aware of a company that makes the type BNE sells? I don't want to go with the bolt on type and I already have the extended studs. Been doing google searches for a while but the results come back from overseas and sometimes the language barrier gets in the way.

Never used bolt on spacers. They appear to have the studs for mounting the wheels inserted. Can those be removed and still run as a spacer like the BNE's?

Here's a link to the BNE spacers I keep talking about: https://www.bneshop.com/collections...d-wheel-studs-wheel-spacers?variant=375383199
 
You could drive the studs out of a wheel adapter and use it like a spacer on long wheel studs. The studs are pressed into the aluminum adapter, just like they would be into the original wheel hub. Only difference might be the machining tolerances on the steel hub which is splined like the stud. I think the aluminum adapters just have a smooth hole undersized enough that a splined wheel stud pressed into it will form the splines into the aluminum and hold the stud.

For what it's worth, I had a damaged thread once or twice on a wheel adapter and I had to crank on a breaker bar to snap the stud off, the one pressed into the adapter. I hammered out the old broken stud, drew in a new (well, "new", one I knocked out of a different adapter from the same source), and once the stud was replaced, all was fine again. So the studs in the adapters should not be prone to spinning within the aluminum.
