one of my zr1's adaptor stripped out while i was driving and completely screwed up my whole driver side front fender. so i have taken the zr1's off and i am now looking for a good used set of torque thrust II's. 17x8's are alright, but if you have 9's or 10's for the back that would be great! i just dont wanna fool around with the adaptors anymore and have this same thing happen to me later down the road.

 

Lookin to seel the ZR1 rims?

 

I followed your earlier thread where you bought the adapters. I'm thinking about getting some adapters from the same guy you bought yours from. Can you tell me exactly what happened to yours? Was the adapter at fault?
Thanks,

never had a problem with my skulte adapters....i've heard of similar problems before though. go with direct bolt on as it isn't worth the worry/hassle the adapters bring about and the car will not only look better but feel better.

 

Wow so the adaptor came off? I had my heart set on some y2k wheels but if the adaptors are the least bit shady then maybe I won't run them

eeek!! But what if I get a 4th gen rear end, what am I gonna do then? I wanted to run adapters on all 4, then get a new rear end so I'd only run adapters in the front but now I don't know what to do

 

skulte's adapters haven't had any complaints to date..

 

Me too. I am getting another set of TT2's though. Going to go down to a 17x8 in the front instead of the 17x9.5.

 

you'll be happier with the 8 in the front.

 

not lookin to sell them yet, and yeah i dont really think it was the adaptors fault. i think it was more my fault, because i put them on, and never checked them again, and i guess after just about 100 miles of driving they need to be retightened.

 

i thought it was less then 100 miles....they definately need to be looked after though.

 

100 miles? thats like ever 2 or 3 days for me! forget that, i dont want spacers then, i wanted to buy the 10 spoke SS's, but they also need spacers, i dont know if i want them anymore if the spacers have to be tightened so much

 

These rims ive seen on many of gm's old concept cars and ive benn lookin for about a year for em and now i finnally found em, But i called the place and they dont produce them ne more. But there is good news, he said soooo many people are complaining that they dont make em ne more there gonna start producin em again. Well tell me what ya think are they kewl lookin or no???http://ronalusa.com/r15/index.html

 

No, not EVERY 100 miles. After the first 100 miles.

 

TpiTony searching here on this website for that wheel would have saved you alot of trouble....they were brought back in the last year and discontinued again.

 

I've seen a bunch of Ronals on ebay lately, and a few months ago Hawks still had a few sets. So you might try those two places Tony.

 

Got any pics of the damage done to the adapter?

 

probably pulled out the studs i'm assuming....fairly common as well as snapping them if the grade isn't right. any idea what grade they were?

 

nope no pics, sorry. cars already gone to the shop for a new fender, and my car is not my everyday driver. i only see 100 miles roll over on mine about every 3 months, if that.

 

I ran Vette Brakes adaptors and Slulte adaptors on my cars and never had any problems with them getting loose. I just made sure the lugs were nice and tight when I put them on.
I never had issues with ride quality either running 4th gen 16's or 17's on the cars.

 

GITTER DONE!!! TTII'S:hail:

 

I have two 17x9.5 4th gen offset TT2's I need to get rid of
