small to big bolt pattern adapters

...that is one good question.

Everyone states that wheel adapters are a no-no but Chrysler sold them (I almost bought a set) plus a bunch of companies on the internet advertise billet aluminum ones.

If they don't work, why are so many companies selling them ?
And if you have a set of rims not in the current bolt pattern rim, would this be a inexpensive fix especially is they are not 5 * 4 or 5 * 4 1/2.

I have heard stories of failure but when I looked on the internet to find any problems on the internet and when I have, it was an IO error, not the adapters.

Is this just a problem years ago and not today ?

I assume you wouldn't use them on race, or highly modded cars..

If anyone has some info, please post.
