john you are a perfect example of why some people should not post in a forum when they lack the technical prerequisite for the design of such a part that brey krause has made thank you brey krause for filling that need, unbelievable!!!!

Danger;333386]The spacers should be machined in a way that the bolt openings match with Porsche's 130x5 specification. This ensures that the spacer and wheel cannot move under force. In addition, it's ideal to have the spacer mount securely to the hub. That way, instead of the spacer spinning while you're trying to line up the bolt openings of the wheels with those of the hub, it stays in place.[/QUOTE]

They may not look as sturdy, but the "fingers" do appear to be hub-centric, and pilot the wheel. The slots aren't an issue, since it's the wheel bolt clamping load, and the resulting friction between parts, that prevents "slipping" on the hub, not the acutal bolt holes. If it were truly a shear fastener application, you would never use wheel bolts, but studs with no threads in the joint interface.
