Best wheel adapter?
I'd like to buy a st of JK wheels and tires off Craigslist, so I'm looking for opinions on which brand of adapters to get.
Anyone have real world experience with them?

i used ebay spacers (and so have plenty of other ppl) and they as good as name brand. jeep wheels arent hubcentric and dont need some crazy adapter. just make sure you brake clean off your wheel studs and use red loctite on the bolts.

Just hope the wheels are cheap. They are a dime a dozen around the ATL. A friend gave me a set of 5 & I tried selling them for $100 with NO luck. I sold them for scrap for $72.
I'm getting another set of 5 off a Rubicon tomorrow for $50. If I don't use them, I'll sell them or scrap them.
Spacer do scare me a little but I'll eventually put them on my DD along with some Tread Wright tires. If I don't sell them first. If you do the WJ big brake conversion you can omit the front spacers by having your hubs redrilled for the 5 on 5 pattern & I guess you could do the same on the rear. Right??
