    There's nothing wrong with adapters, as long as they're installed properly.

    And considering he drove that car out here from Georgia and then back, I'd say they're probably pretty safe.

        i have about 20,000 miles on these adapters, never had any issues, and yes my wheel bearings are still good.

        thanks for the love guys. i promise the next set will deliver.

        oh btw

        Sale pending!

          Sad to se the mayo go. I can't wait for what's next!

          Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
          Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
          Lobsterbacks attack the town again
          Wrap all my things in aluminum
          Beams of darkness streak across the sky
          Pink rays from the ancient satellite
          Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
          Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

                          Wish I had the cash for these. I'd tell you to paint them gunmetal and ship them out to me.

                          If you still have them late next month...............although I really want 16 x 9 D90s all the way around.

                            hopefully they are sold before that, but good luck on the 16x9 d90's :)

                              Except that they put twice the torque on the hub/bearing...

                              You may get away with doing this for a while, but you're killing your bearings. A basic equation from any general engineering course, Torque = Force*Distance, will show that these adapters put extra stress on the bearings.

                              Now as far as safety goes... who knows what could happen if the bearing suddenly seized or the studs holding the adapter on breaks because they're under a ridiculous amount of force.
