These are PSE wheels with the aformentioned Trigo adapters. I bought blank adapters (from Trigo) and machined them for 6 hole fitament 4.25 bolt hole circle, (to allow use of PSE's FIA wheels) using the same barrel nuts as the 5 hole Trigo adapters. PSE wheels are cast differently and have a little "rougher" finish than the Trigos, which I think use a permanent mold type of casting process. The PSE wheels cannot be used on a 5 hole adapter because the mounting pad on the back of the wheel will not accomodate a 5 hole pattern. I was the first (according to PSE) to attempt to fit the FIA wheels on a Ford 9" rear end. There are more pictures in my gallery. There was a lot of machining to get it to work. Lynn had indicated that the Trigo FIA wheel "Was" coming to the market place but had some production problems and kept being delayed so I went forward with this. The Trigo type wheel has a different mounting pad on the back (much like their 427 Wheel) and will easily accomodate the 5 lug pattern.
