ah probably the fact that they dont centre the wheel properly is why it shakes so much on the front.
do you want to sell a pair as i need some for the rear of my van ?

i reckon they will have been drilled concentric - or the seat for the 160pcd isnt correct :? i wouldnt have thought unless you use hub centred wheels/nuts on the 108 pcd wheel then you wouldn't notice a problem

the boss should still be supporting it but i wouldnt say that was the actual problem :|

Did this ever go anywhere?

I have just acquired an early Mk3 van with 6x170 PCD. Would like to be able to fit say 5x160 (got some new Vantec 2 alloys). Maybe go for something else but would need some advice as which way to go - need to be van rated whatever I choose ;)

yes it does. any wheels with that pcd will most likely NOT be weight rated for the van and therefore dangerous :!:

I could have another batch of adapters made, but I would need definite orders this time as only three members paid up last time and I had to sell the others on eBay, not all a sob story as they sold for way over the price they were here. I would have them drilled for a 120mm PCD and would include a raised boss for the alloy. Get in touch if you are interested.

Me too. 5x120 or 5x112 PCD are fine to me.
