Cheapest place to get wheel adapters

Can someone please PM me a non-sponsor or reply with a sponsor that sells wheel adapters for a decent price? I am running a 9" rear in my 4th gen with Ford axles and it is 3rd gen width, so I need a 5x4.5 to 5x4.75 2" wheel spacers in order to run my stock 4th gen wheels. I found these:

which isnt a bad price for the spacers, but they want $42 freaking dollars for shipping, bringing it to $162 for 2 spacers!

Re: Cheapest place to get wheel adapters

just check on ebay. I was a little skeptical about buying them of ebay, but was very happy when I got them, and haven't had a problem. I think they where only like a 100 for all 4 too.

***whoops didn't realize you already bought some

Re: Cheapest place to get wheel adapters

I went through this place,

http://www.tulipcitywheels.com/tcwst..._detail&p=1400

but since I needed a set that converted my ford axles to chevy wheels I had to get this set, but their price was ALOT better than everywhere else I went for this type of adapter. You might be able to find other places that sell straight up chevy to chevy 2 inch spacers for a better price.

NOW WHAT SIZE ARP STUDS DO I NEED? Is it 12mm x 1.5? What length? What is the knurl and underhead length?
