Quality wheel adapters?

Anyone using 5x110 to 114.3(4.5") wheel adapters on their SS? Having a hard time finding good quality ones with hub centric rings.

Careful, need to say hub-centric and wheel-centric, otherwise someone may jump all over your response - even though the hub-centric term indicates both are machined into the spacer. :rolleyes:
True. The spacers are precisely machined to the wheel and the hub. They need to know your donor car's hub, and the donor car's wheel to machine the correct spacer.

I'm not pointing out a problem with your post Ross, it was fine and those of us who purchase the hub-centric spacers know they are machined for centricity on both the hub and wheel sides of them. ;)

You don't have to measure the wheels, just tell them the car that wheels are designed for, and they will look up the exact manufacturer specifications.
That with your 2009 Cobalt SS hubs, and they have everything they need. Well, you do need to calculate what thickness of spacer you need.

While on the hub subject, If I did choose to redrill the new hubs, Does anything else need to change like the brake rotors?

Thanks,

There are some parts that going cheap on is not a good idea from a safety standpoint. Anything that provides connection to the suspension, brakes or wheels and tires need to be as good as they can be made or purchased. Your life and safety shouldn't be placed into cheap parts - IMO.
