wheel spacers or adapters

Hello everyone!

I bought a 914 which had 14" rims on it.
I also noticed that the hubs had 4 studs and there were nuts to hold the rim to the hub.
When I removed the wheel, I realized it was an 1" thick adapter that was bolting on the hub with the VW bolt pattern converting it to a 4 stud/Honda bolt pattern.
Are these common?
Are they called wheel adapters or spacers?
What are they worth?
I have returned to the 15" wheels with the VW bolt pattern.

Thanks

Steph

Those would be adapters.

I saw a thread on this on the other board recently and I recall seeing a picture of the adapter but I didn't bookmark the thread. I would think that Dave D would know.

if the adapter is a 4x100 bolt pattern and good quality, they should be worth about $50 to $100 or so for the set of 4....VW Bug guys might give you more since they are more apt to use them.....

you can buy them brand new for about $60 each, but there is not a huge market for them....I do know one person that is/was looking for a set...
