I don't know which adapters you are talking about but three weeks ago I recieved a new set of Vintage wheels and adapters from Bob at Vintage everything bolted up perfectly although some pins with external hex heads would be nice, after reading about the problems about concentricity and taper I looked at mine, first I checked the taper, I put machinest blue dye on the pins and tightned them down,I had full contact (the taper appeared to be the same pin and hole) then I set up a dial indicator on a machined surface of the hub the most out of concentricity i could find is appx. .004-.006 all said I don't know about other wheel manufactures but the Vintage wheels were spot on, however the pins could be improved. When it is all worked out I will be in line for improved pins.
