    agreed, people should be warned about their adapters. that's why i bought motorsport-tech.com, that's why they say their the best ones money can buy.

        Come on Ben, get in there with a gearwrench from the bottom OR you can get it from the top with a long extension and swivel.

          Spacers with good studs are fine. Its the hardware store bolts that are the problem. I would have used military spec hardware if i was making those adapters. But then again i'm only somewhat concerned about my safety

            Aside from the Audi team, the corvette team is probably one of the most consistent and professional teams in LeMans. I love @1:00 when he pats the little asian guys head and he turns around like DAFUQ oh lulz :rofl:

              You do realize the same thing is said about the 42 draft ones, right? I had MST (which are the same as adaptec) and i'd STILL rather have mine. I really don't trust that spin-in overlap bolt.

              Mine didn't exist when you bought yours. MST was the best because they were the only supplier lol.

                      If they are so direct fitment why have your wheels been collecting dust for 2 years?
