I don't really see a benefit other than having access to a cheap 5-lug wheel. It seems to me that 5-lug would be stronger but isn't the adapter still held on with the 3-Lugs from the original hub? If this is the case then I don't see a real benefit. I have 6 three lug wheels that I want to put on my racer that are already bought and paid for. Can anyone tell me why using the adapters is a better idea?

3-Lug vs. 5-Lug?

The 3 lug 8" replacement wheels seemed to be in high demand a few years ago, but not so much anymore. I think they had a bad problem of the centers breaking and people tried to match what they had. For a low budget racer I'd use them, but on a nicer trail machine, I'd go for the better K-lock wheels.

I had bead lock rings made like the ones Joe H has on his. I am going to use them on the 6 wheels that I have already.Originally posted by thebuggyman1 View PostThe 3 lug 8" replacement wheels seemed to be in high demand a few years ago, but not so much anymore.

Those bolt on bead locks rings will work the best.Originally posted by smudvapor View PostI had bead lock rings made like the ones Joe H has on his. I am going to use them on the 6 wheels that I have already."Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"

They've been discontinued for a long, long time. Your best bet is to get 3 to 5 adapters and some 8" rims.Originally posted by rturner View PostWhere is a good place to buy the three bolt rim's for ATTEX?
