@RedLS1 - Any pics of that red C4 in your avatar? I like the white stripe look. Curious how it would look with black wheels...
Now back to the hatin'. J/K
I had heard hub centric as well, and was looking to clarify if I needed them or not and what the difference was that I was missing. You have all been helpful in posting exactly what I thought.

So if you admittedly have no idea what you are talking about, why are you so adament about arguing with those who DO know?
Being a law student I would think that you would realize that some sort of evidence, proof, or at least a sliver of a fact was required to make a case.
"Because somebody told me" is not proof of anything other than the fact that they were wrong too.

)LS1, why are you using adapters? isnt your car late offset? Do you use them to get more track width?
Thanks
Dave

They kinda did by showing me photos of adapters that were hub-centric and non hub-centric. The non hub centric were broken apart. So I went with hub-centric. I do not know what the big deal is anyway. It is only $10. I felt more comfy with hub-centric, let me live. Jesus.
You are definitely 100% HATER.

I never knew asking a question about wheel adapters cold turn into something like this. I guess my question's been answered in between the flaming!
Thanks to those who responded.

I don't have adapters on the car at all now. It has in the past to allow for wheels with a different offset to get clearance for 315s on the front.

I have learned 3 things from this thread:
1. Hub-centric may or may not be needed depending on who you talk to.
2. uptown193's definition of "hater" is anyone who does not agree with him.
3. RedLS1GTO's Vette is a bad azz looking vette. (well, I already knew that)

I think I would have to agree. That is a sick looking Vette. I really like the white stripe on the red with the white stripes above the front wheel too. Of course anything with ground effects and a hood scoop looks good too! Well done, sir!
