pm CHarris, i was trying to buy a set of adapters from him a while back. they are about $400 plus shipping brand new. i think he wanted around $300 for them if he still has them.

Why bother? Plenty of good looking 6-lug wheels available.

Be very careful with adapters. They are not made for performance driving.

If you really have some ***** you could have the old bolt pattern welded up and then redrilled for the 6 lug bolt pattern...this is an option, i have seen it done before, but I do not know how safe it would actually be.
