Default Wheel adapters

Where can I buy quality wheel adapter to convert my C5's 5x4.75 bolt pattern to 5x4.50? I have some 5x114.3 rims i want to use. Thanks.

I seem to recall a company that advertises in the Truck'n magazine that makes billet adapters to your specs. I don't know anything about their quality, but something you may check in to.

IMO, Based on 20 years in Auto Service, the words "quality" and "wheel adaptors" don't belong in the same sentence.

Would you care to expound on that please? The adapters today are nothing like the spacers they made 20 years ago. Im not even sure they made billet adapters 20 years ago.
