Afternoon all!

I was just wondering whether anyone here runs wheel adapters? I was looking at these on the net...
Porsche Adapters

To put some Porsche rims on. Has anyone had any horror stories?

Cheers and Beers,
Ollie

just so you know that wheel adaptors are illegal in all states of australia unless signed off by an engineer.
your better off buying blank discs and drums and getting them drilled in the correct patten.

I know this all too well! How much are blanks?

my last set of which i got stung with. were 900.
im still not happy with volks conversions about it.

Mine were a heap less than that

As a ball park you would be looking at the $350 for drums and same for rotors.

Considering you are getting new drums and rotors for that price it isnt too bad.

Give V Force a call and see what he can get
There are several options he has available

If you want someone who will pass em... Vic Terry Automotive in West Burleigh.

I asked the Old lad (Vic) if they are legal or not, and he goes, why would they not be legal?? hes a bit crazy though, but cool. hes a blue plate compliance officer and does rwc's

Chris

Cool wont cut it with the insurance fella's
I suggest he wont be a blue plate compliance officer for much longer if he is signing these off as ok

Adapters are "For Off Road Use Only"
