custom adapters

they fit really tight against the wheel. But ill keep an eye on them thx lock

Hey lock what kind of steel are you adaptors made out of?

It depends on the application. Our normal everyday adapters are made from high grade of steel that has been through an annealing process. Then we build some custom stuff out of a stainless steel block that a local company makes.

What size O.D. steel are people using to make there adaptors out of. I was just trying to see what the cost difference is between making them or buying them.

I dont think the steel is the real expensive part. Price out the 40 studs and 72 lugnuts. Remember safety should be first in mind then cost. Lockone has made a ton of these and they are proven. There used to be a topic on here of a dodge dually that broke an adapter and totalled the truck.

72 nuts? When makin mine I didn't have to buy new ones for the truck the were already piloted so we just countersunk the adapters I am pretty sure locks are the same correct me if I'm wrong

There are 72 total when bolting them on the truck with 32 of them being the stock lugs for the truck. Most customers do not have the factory style lugs for their truck or the stocks are too big to allow the cap to sit flush, so we offer to sell them the additional lugs to bolt the adapters to the vehicle.

The major cost in the adapters is the studs and lug nuts for the 33mm. The lugs and studs average out at around $6-7 each and the steel runs around $300 or more depending on which type/size you buy.

I must have got a really good deal on my studs and nuts

There are cheaper versions of these just like there is for every other part. We use a certain style because they have the best service record we have found.

Very true like everythin else in life its all abut personal preferance
