I know skulte performance makes them but they are very $$$ . Anybody know any other companies, or are selling any themselves?

I'll make some out of cadboard for $10. But they ant gunna last.

J/K

But seriouslly, I got mine from skulte. $150 a pair. I bount ones for the front and a 93 Z28 rear end (no adaptors needed in the rear that way.)

You get what you pay for. That's why my cd player for the car wasn't bought at WAL-MART.

What kind of wheels are you getting to put on your car that you need adaptors for?

I was gonna put 2000Z28 10 spokes on but ive been told if you have alot of hp/tq its not a good idea. Im probablly just going to have to powdercoat my old rims instead.

If you go to skulte's site he explains how his adapters don't sacrifice strength. He races his twin-turbo Z-28 with them on and they are more sturdy than the factory lug studs. I know my set have a thicker lug stud than the factory ones. They also come with chrome lug nuts because they use a thicker than factory stud. I trust mine but then again I don't do any racing other than street light to street light!

I did the same. 4th gen rear in the back.
I've got my friends 91 Firebird in my driveway now, looks almost like my 86. I'll snap some pics of them today after work.
