Anyone using wheel adapters temporarily?

[vwfan53]

Curious. For $$$ reasons, I may need to run Wide-5 to 5x130 wheel adaptors for about 6 months.

Anyone see any major issues with this? I tested fited everything and things "look" good.

I do drive hard, and the car may see an occasional auto-x or track event.

Comment welcome, thanks

Good question.

I can say with authority that the EMPI ones suck a$$! Do not get these.

I have heard that some good ones are being made in Germany but have no idea who sells them. Also get metal and not aluminum ones.

... I am contemplating the same thing until my motor gets done.

Anyone have a good resource for metal adaptors?

I already have the set, as I used them to check the look I was after.

I picked up whatever "Latest Rage" in HotVWs sells. The 5x130 stud pattern was SPOT-ON. And the Wide-5 was also good.

These do have a Taiwan sticket on the back. Also the thread is SAE instead of Metric...Hmmm.

P.S. What is the deal on your 911 that is for sale??????
you can email me privately on that if you want.

I'm using a set from Wolfgang. Thick steel (heavy). Don't see how you could possibly hurt them but they add weight where you don't want it, but like you said...it's a temporary fix until I get the meats I want.
