Wheel adapters to put 10 lug wheels on a deuce... ???

So I’m working toward bobbing a duce and putting 1400R 20 tires on it. I have the tires, (5 more Michelins than I need… hint) and found some 10x20 combat rims. Unfortunately the rims are set up for the 10 lug 5 ton. Are there such things as a 6 lug to 10 lug adapter/spacer? Is it even a good/safe idea? Otherwise I’ll have to get into the laser cutting/welding/centering project. Not one that I looking forward to getting into. I have access to tools, moderate metal working skills, and not much money. Fools rush in….etc.

Yeah, you can get them, but they are spendy.

Check here for some, $2000/set: http://www.chuckstrucks.net/parts.html

Spicergear was looking into making some a few years back, but he ended up scrapping that idea. He might have some leads though.

I need some rims to single out another M52. If you are interested in a trade, I've got new deuce beadlock rims ready to roll.

Making the adapters on a CNC mill is not too hard. Lots of bux worth of studs, plus all hubs have to be pulled and the adapters bolted on from the inside of the hub.
Not worth $2000 a set to me.
Just my opinion.
