Bolt pattern adapters

Soooo....are these things any good? 5x100 -> 5x144.3

They don't seem all that safe to me.

There's alot of people and companies out there that insist that these adapters are safe, IMHO, I just don't think they are but that's just me. Same goes for spacers.

since these are 1" they are effectively adding -25 to the offset, right? We would need a +50 or +60, is that even possible?
