I suspect they were invented purely for the comic potential of the name.

Well i do not like them, i was surprised to see they existed at all. And then when you see they are using them on vans its even more concerning.

They enable you to fit a wheel with a different PCD { As far as I am aware , up to 2mm max difference } .

Wouldnt you need the wheel to be centralised on a boss for these to be ok? Even a slight off centre would produce an unbalanced set up?
