David-
Assuming these are the same as the TR3/4 adapters, I'd give em the
OK at this price.
This past spring I bought a set of 4 pcs, at about $75 each. The quality is
quite good.
I also bought a set of 60 spoke Dayton wheels, ( also at top price) which
are also of good quality. If you are re-using some older wheels, make sure
the splines are in good shape, otherwise you will still have the loose
spline problems, even with new adaptors. If this is a first time
conversion, order the wheel stud kits as the WW studs are shorter and the
lugnuts are smaller. I would suggest telling the TRF to ship only your
complete order, as my wheels and accessories came in several different
shipments and the shipping $ was pretty expensive.

Subject: Roadster Factory wire wheel adaptor hub questions
Listers,
I am contemplating changing my 76 TR6 to wire wheels in the future. I
noticed in the Roadster Factory one-hundred-grand sale that they have the
adaptors for $39.50 each and this seems to be a fair price, available until
1/15/00 or as long as the supply lasts I presume. With apologies to the
recent thread, my experience has always been good with TRF and these items
are apparently in stock. My question is directed to anyone who has
purchased
and used these items. Are you satisfied with the hub adaptors and did you
find the quality to be what you expected. Also, I am looking for advice as
to whether the use of this type of adaptor is advisable. Any other advice
on
a wire wheel conversion would be greatly appreciated. As always, thanks for
the advice and assistance.
David Gill
