Default WHEEL ADAPTERS

Anyone run wheel adapters on their car before?...If so , what are your experiences with them...I want to run a set of Algernon Intellesse wheels but MEMORYFAB cant import them in this particular lug pattern, as they dont have a big enough demand for them...

i haven't had any experience with them or heard anything about them. But if you use them, I'd make sure to impact them on.

The guy that i spoke to at MEMORYFAB said that i could use another lug pattern as long as i used wheel adapters.

yea u can get any wheel on ur car with a wheel adapter for that lug pattern, im just saying make sure that those adapters get put on with an impact gun using the right torque specs. I wouldn't trust an adapter holding a wheel that was just put on with a tire iron.

Why dont you skip out on it and find another wheel that fits your specs now? Save some $$ and time. IMO.

Thats very logical but at the same time..i want these wheels bad...they look very similar to BBS LM's but they are drastically cheaper....2200 for the set of 19's as opposed to what....4000 plus just for the wheels?
