Wheel adapters:
These are really nice units. Corey makes a good product, and they work well. Plus, he was great to deal with. Smile

(In my area, there are no tire places that can balance lug-centric wheels, so the $58 was money well spent.)

Thanks for the feedback. I had a similar problem with the local tire shops and that's why I started making these.

Same day shipping if ordered (and paid Wink

) before 4:00 PM.

I just got mine yesterday - thanks for the super-fast shipping, question answering, etc. I hope I don't need it for a while, but it looks great and will be nice to have next time I need tires.
Thanks!

Mine arrived today. I am very impressed with the workmanship and the dealings with Corey. It will be interesting to see how the tire shop responds to this. However, I think I'll insist that they let me tighten the lug bolts....don't want them to handle the aluminum plate like a gorilla!

Thanks for a nice tool, Corey.

Glad to help. My local shop would not use it unless I was the one to put it on the rim. I prefer that anyway. Those clowns would probably use an impact wrench which would make quick work of the aluminum threads. I usually tighten mine down just barely snug.

Corey:That's what I'm thinking, as well. I watch some of those shops go after high dollar alloy wheels with the old air impact wrench...makes me cringe! That one experience is enough to avoid such shops.

We have been driving around with unbalanced wheels as our tire shops were unable to balance the 5 lug wheels. Safety has always been my biggest concern until I found Corey's adapter.
Corey has been so accommodating, explained everything I needed to know on the product and even sent a picture of how its mounted. This is an awesome product and worth every dollar I paid for and Corey is such a wonderful guy to deal with. Applause

It will take sometime to finally arrive here but I am sure will be worth the waiting. Looking forward to a smoother and safer ride. Thanks Corey.

I wanted to tell you that I used your disk on Saturday to balance a new set of tires. You made the impossible possible! The last time I was able to do that was in 1994 when I found a dealer with the old spin balancing machine. The machine has since died, and I had no way to get the job done, until now.

Thanks!

Morris

I just bought some other parts and had great communication, shipping, etc as well. Forgot that you were the guy that made the wheel adapters - they loved it at the tire place when I got my new tires on the truck last year.
Thanks,

Wanted to bump this thread and say I received my balance adapters a few days after ordering them. They look very well made and just what I needed. My local tire shops aren't able to balance wide 5 VW wheels without the adapters. Also, Corey replied back promptly to answer my questions.

Thanks Corey!

Bought an adapter from Corey and I am very pleased with both the product and his customer service. Lightning fast shipping too.

Buy from Corey with confidence!

I just bought an adapter. It arrived very quickly. Two days later I had new tires installed on the bus. The tire shop said the adapter was perfect and had no problem spin balancing the tires. As soon as I find a few extra lug bolts, I'm going to bolt the adapter to my spare (in case it is needed on trip and so I don't lose it in the garage Very Happy

)

Recommended product and seller
