There is a lot more than $50 of steel in those adaptors. Price steel and take a look at what kind of machine work goes in to them. Then price the studs. Good ones, not grade 5 cheap o's that will break off and have those heavy wheels and tires rolling down the highway. I wouldn't chince out on something like that anyway, but that is me.
