Why buy 4 new wheels? Id spend the $200 bucks on billet aluminum adapters before i bought $800-1000 worth of wheels

So I ordered the billet aluminum hub and wheel centric adapters today from Wheeladapter.com. I'll let you know how they work out. A little sidebar: from all appearances it appeared like I was dealing with Fred Goeske himself, and the email, website, etc. makes it seem that way. The guy that answered the phone even answered to Fred. But Googling him brings up an article that says he died a couple of years ago. I wonder if there's a Fred, Jr. Running the company now?

Also, dart4forte was right - the cast adapters are junk. Car is in the shop right now, and it turns out that 3 studs on the right rear are turning loose and the whole thing might be falling apart. There ought to be a federal investigation into the manufacturer of this crap - it's pretty f***ing dangerous to be driving around on these things, and I installed them exactly as per instructions.
