I'm partnering with an established manufacturer of spacers and adapters to produce 3 to 5 lug adapters, right here in the good old U S of A. Should be available for ordering within a few weeks. (So far the only challenge is finding the correct "short head" bolts.. The CNC programming and fabrication are a piece of cake.) The prototypes will be holding my new rims on later this week.
Imagine, buying wheel adapters without having to learn to speak German, take a beating on the dollar to euro conversion, nor having to pay more for shipping than for the danged adapters!
So stay tuned. We've got our micrometers out, help is on the way.
I will take a set as long as they are priced reasonably...
$150 per each is not reasonable
Fred, I'd think you would have machinist connections out the wazu. I'm small time, and I've got one. He just hates metric stuff. What do you think is reasonable?
You guys are a riot. I mean, darn. You guys are "edited for content". Its just sad! Try talking to Phil or robert
Again, i don't offer tech support. This is the real world!

By the end of next week I should have a good idea why no one ever thinks of just drilling and tapping the rotors, drums and hubs for 5x112.5mm circle....eh?
But back to some real engineering thoughts...
I know full well one off stuff gets pricy becaus of R&D
I am willing to accept a COPY that is CNC machined and comes with the correct staggered length bolts and I will sign a OFF ROAD USE ONLY liability release..
The reason the Euro versions are so damned expansive is low volume and TUV certicfications...not to mention the damned exchange rate
I usualy never reveal my squeel point on a part price
But since we are all freinds here... They are not worth more then $75 bucks a pop to me
more then that, and I get in line over at the Aviation machine shop and re-teach myself some milling and drilling skills
Only limitation I've found is installed bolt depth. If you screw one of the factory studs all the way in w/o the wheel, it hits the spindle about 12 oclock on rotation. Stock shank from ball face to end is 24.5 mm. Haven't dismounted a rotor to glance at the back.
