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.
