Theirs a user on the board named Andris Skulte , he runs

http://www.skulte.com/

He builds these wheel adapters. Speaking from personal experience and the fact that he probably has a vehicle with Z06 wheels.. this is the man to talk too.

I do not think Andris Skulte is making adapters anymore.

If you go to Skulte's main page, he posted up that he will no longer be making the spacers. So all those people on the other page may have gotten them from Skulte, but they have been discontinued.

You can definitely buy these spaces anywhere online. Just look around on google and make sure that their made of high quality materials, that way there are no safety issues.

Re: spacers needed for z06 rims

You need to figure out what size spacer you need for these rims. After you figure that out I would STRONGLY recommend ebay. If you go to ebay and just enter 5x4.75 wheel spacers, you should be able to find what you need. I got mine for there and I must say I am impresed with that I got. Make sure the ones you get are of good quality and that they are a 5x4.75 to 5x4.75 adapter. This way you are not changing bolt patern, just offset.

I hope this works out for you
