Just to back up whats already been posted...
I've used adapters and spacers, billet is a must! Properly used, they are not dangerous in any way. A lot of stories floating around that are B.S., the old cast adapters were crap and I've even got a set of wide five-to-chevy that are stamped sheet metal! Absolute junk but useful if you needed to put some roller wheels on.
You will not beat Lanner's price (or quality) unless you stumbled on some already made (used) that someone was trying to unload, which is highly unlikely.

One final thought is that I have just completed installation of 17's on my 72 Super. For the rear drums, I had them redrilled (correctly) with studs and related maching to make them right. I had this done for about $140 US total, not including cost of the drums.

If you want to go for adapters, $100 each Canadian is a deal.

One more thing, Lanners work = Top quality. I purchased the skinny coils set from Lanner which allowed me to install 215\45 on the front of my beetle. Great Quality!
