Reputable source for hub adaptors and hubcentric wheel spacers
Anyone know of a source manufacturing true billet hub adapters and wheel spacers?
I tried to install some 15mm hub centric wheel adapters from ebay but the inside lug nuts rounded off before reaching 140 ft/lbs of torque click. I suspect they are not high quality materials and more like Chinese junk. Where do we find high quality hub adapters and spacers ?? |

buy wheels with the correct offset, the use of spacers is asking for failure.

Hey thanks for the response. That's good advice If I have ever heard good advice. Sometimes wheel manufactures don't always sell a Chevrolet bolt pattern or bore size. This negligent behavior results in an adapter search by Chevrolet owners. Leading to the question: Who's making high quality billet adapters that can be trusted to fit correctly and represents quality craftsmanship ? |

H&R makes quality hub centric spacers. They are TUV approved so that says something!

VS Forged wheels makes some nice customer spec’d forged monobloc wheels for around $2600 a set. You might want to see if you like something before going with wheels that have fitment issues.
VS04 is nice...

Spacers are fine, I would have no issue using some.
Hub adaptors....well, I think you are looking for trouble. Just to much to go wrong. Looking at buying some Japanese wheels? I believe adaptors are a minimum of 15mm thick as well. That makes it even harder to find the right wheels

I purchased 19x10.5 TSW Rotary Forged wheels. The wheels are light and TUV certified, hopefully strong enough for a Camaro. The odd thing about the wheel, TSW lists the bore size as 76.1mm.
VS Forged are nice, everything about the wheel looks right. |

motorsport-tech's a little expensive but recommended, be prepared to wait 4 - 8 weeks for custom hub rings. |
