I got mine at www.motorsport-tech.com for right at $600. Haven't hade any problems except surface rust on the allen bolts. Easy fix though. And they are billet adapters and good quality.


Didn't realize it had been 2 months since my last post.

Actually go to performancewheel.com I bought some adapter for my 4x4 Rock Crawler(much more brutal) and have not had a problem at all. I'd say get the adapters and about the $600 mine are 3" and were $360 with a $20 overnight charge, $600 is a ripe off!! And yes these are billet aluminum!! Let's see some pics of the T-56 swap when finished!!! Sounds awsome!!

This is the reply I got from performancewheel.com....

"We're sorry, but you cannot create an adapter from a wheel with 6 lugs to a wheel with 5 lugs."

No ****! The Vette wheels are only 5lugs? Wasn't aware of that.

Just checked their webpage and it says right on that thye won't do the lug conversion. That's gotta be where the weakness comes from because mine are holding up fine!!

Hey Red53, how wide are your adapters? Truckin.com told me they're adapters would be around 2 inches wide, what backspacing would i need on the corvette wheels so they wouldn't stick out to far. I checked the price at truckin.com and they were something around $80 each, are they're adapters any good?
