Esteemed readers:

Any recommendations on who makes these and what I can expect to encounter with them...fit issues, safety issues, etc. Use will be for my 69 Dart...on the front...for light freeway driving.

It is easy to find ones that look like pot metal. They will most likely make your wheels stick out too far and break in half when you hit a pothole at 60mph. It's not worth using them.

If you can find nice steel ones maybe that's a different story but I still would just get the right wheels or switch to big bolt hubs and axles.

TRUCKIN magazine used to have vendors that advertised custom made adapters out of steel. If you are set on using an adapters instead of changing the hubs, the steel is tha safer way to go.
