They used to be sold on echobit, but I think it was Waxer making them. PM him on here. If he wasn't the one, he'll likely know who was.

The overlay of the bolt patterns does not allow for use of 2 of the 8 studs. The missing studs are 180° from each other. That is the only way I have seen it done. There really isn't a strength issue. An 8 lug uses 9/16 studs and a lot of 6 lug use 7/16 studs (WTF?)

I make them from 6061 T6 alum.

Hey Tony, are these still strong? any danger for a daily driver?
not at all, alot of guys are running 1" to 2" inch spacers on there axles, and the six 9/16"inch wheel studs that hold the spacer ring on are alot stronger then the six 7/16"inch wheel studs that hold the rim on...
