messed up bearing spacers?

this has been annoying for a long time in both my wheels when i ride there is a little rattling noise coming from them im pretty sure its the spacer.. everything is tight as can be i tried like 10 different spacers including skate spacers
 
they are ovalized but taped and i had different bearings at first i thought they broke so i bought brand new super swiss six and it still does it

the tape wears down after a while, you need to re-tape them. hot glue the bearings in place if its bad or use loctite. whatever keeps them still.
 
theres really no way your bearing spacers could be rattling because they fit perfectly over an axle. must be your bearings, re-tape them since that apparently works.

ive been having a big problem with that lately. try and take the spacer and grind the side down about 1mm or so. not alot. but yeah that will help
