Lug Nut Adapters to go from Shank Style to Acorn Style

So in my quest to run stock style rims that require Shank Style lug nuts, I have found a solution. This is a pic of an adapter that will allow you to run acorn style lug nuts on a shank style rim.

So tell me what you guys think.

Here are the pics.

Yes, or in my case stock wheels on extended wheel studs without having to cut the tops off a set of stockers which i refuse to do

no need to cut the tops off the stockers, find a mitsubishi with alloys with caps that cover the lugs. most galants have them. they look like this.

Wheels have not fallen off, . You would have to run extended studs to use this. I made the adapters myself.

I'm super late to the party, but was just doing a search for this exact solution. I'm already running extended studs, but would like to run my BBS OEM 17s with my acorn/taper style lugs.

TheBoz it says you've not been online since 2019 so this is a long shot, but are you still making these??

That doesnt seem to be the ones I need. I'm needing ones to fit the OEM wheels so need to have a flat face.
