There's a bloke on here who makes custom ones (but I forget who)
There's also the guy who made mine. Gary Thomas - gar.thoms@hotmail.co.uk He knows what he's talking about, uses steel and gets them zinc plated etc afterwards. Top quality.

I've bought many sets of adaptors from eBay.com, they've never owed me more that £150 for a set of 4.

i thought that size was a problem? there would be one hole that wont clear another. 5x130 to 4x100 is doable as it's quite common to fit Porsche wheels to VWs etc and there was a chap who made some visa versa to fit 4x100 to S800 5x130 pcd.
i did look for 4x108 to fit 5x130 and even that was supposed to be a problem.

you only have PCD confiction issues if the two different patterns have different amounts of studs. 4>4 or 5>5 has no confliction issues as the two patterns are staggered by 45 or 36 degrees so the second pattern fits within the gaps of the first.
5x5">5x4.5" really is a very common adapter in the states, as dan says id just buy off the shelf as I couldnt make a set for that myself.

ah of course. I just assumed 5 stud to 4 stud due to 4x114.3 being a common wheel to ask for in the wanted section. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

They have to be steel and as thin as possible, ebay stuff is all alloy and 25mm minimum. Can't believe this country has gone to the dogs to this extent and no one can do it. Guess it's easier to press that button and get poor quality stuff shipped in. Shame
