Where are you?
If you click on Control Panel in the top right of the screen, you can edit your profile and add a Location for where you are.
Might help in some responses from someone in your State.

Not certain about legality, I think its ok if the manufacturer used them, ie. Porsche. But you need to know that wheel adaptors will increase your
track, probably not such a prob with a lot of modern wheels having more offset inwards.

I use them on mine when i put the wheels from the commodore on my buggy.
Don't think it is legal, but its not illegal until you get caught in my book

The chance of getting flagged cant be that great just keep some standard rims for inspection time.
I think that the hi-way boys might check tread depth if their being real pains but unless your adapters / spacers have big daggy welds on them and
appear a home job I seriously doubt that they will know much better.
Currently on eBay thought you might be keen
The boxes have a genuine look to them
(( VW Wheel Adapters
Here we have a set of 4 VW wheel adaptors. They adapt 1967 and earlier VW 5 lug brake drums to.....General Motors ( Chevrolet, Pontiac, ect) and HQ -
WB Holden stud pattern.
They are in brand new condition, never used.
