<This one looks like it might be able to keep it hubcentric with the way that piece in the middle juts out like the hub does. I could be wrong though.

I just realized these are 5 to 5 adaptors.

yeah thats true, But the weight will be pushed off of the main hub to the new adapter. Then that adapter will be putting the full load onto the 4 stock lug bolts. Unless I am thinking about this wrong confused.gif

As it is by Empi and to judge by it's looks.. this is to go from a 4 lug AIRCOOLED Vdub to the older 5 lug style... ALSO for the aircooled vdub.

Thanks for all the info guys. I was trying to find a way to get some different wheels for my car cheap. But cheap could mean more expensive in the future. I am not sure about the wheels I was looking at any way. I only seen them in the dark and the person who had them before wrecked the car and the wheels didnt fight the car right anyway. Belts are showing on inside of tire. I think the wheels would be ok if they were striped and powder coated. If any one is intrested any way let me know and i will see how much my friend would sell them for. They should go cheap. They got them for free anyway. Thanks.
