Try Ebay, if you want a 3/4" pro adaptors with rim hub fit (perfect for the rear wheels - " strength") I got an extra pair and paid $160 for both, didn't need them on a brake swap but I do need a good offer to give them up..

Don't use these adaptors on the rears if your car has some power....The big adaptor in the pic failed a year ago and sent my rear tire flying into some ones front yard while going about 40mph ...I then road my rotor to a stop..I am lucky as it could have been alot worse, but what a spark show I made, better then most fireworks... I wish I would have saved the broken adaptor but I trashed it...

Anyway, just be careful when using spacers and or adaptors, and always make sure you have 6 full turns on your threads/lug nuts when using spacers on the rears...Longer studs are needed on these SC's when using over 1/4 spacers...

Yes alluminum as most thick ones are.......Here is another pic...that little lip you see on the adaptor makes all the difference for strength... You also won't find any 3/4" inch adaptors anywhere...Most makes start at 1"....If you want the name of the business that makes the performance adaptors and spacers in Los Angeles Ca. I have to dig it up it has been a while....

These 1/4" rear wheel spacers were made for my Sc400 also for $!40....These are the thickest you should go with out changing out your wheel studs for longer ones.....
