Hutchinson wheels....... Can an adapter be made?

[Mjolnir]

So I came across these the other day....Hutchinson 10 Bolt 2 piece wheels.

And I'm wondering if an adapter ring could be made to go from the 10 bolt to the 6 bolt pattern on a 435?

Any thoughts?

The idea being it would be considerably cheaper.......I have discussed Hutchinson wheels with Hellgeth, but was looking to make it more reasonable. I know an adapter can be made for the HEMTT rims but not sure if the same could be done for the aluminum Hutchinson. I am asking as it might be beneficial to do a group buy, and ship a large lot of rims over to North America if an adapter ring could be made.

I have actually seen wheels fall off vehicles with adapters - once in my rear view mirror on a windy mountain road (Glenn Hwy, Alaska). Personally I would not want to ride or own a vehicle with adapters as opposed to "proper" wheels. Especially a heavy vehicle!

Thanks Charlie,

The reason its on my mind is that some heavy equipment uses adapter rings to make rim sets that adapt to several different implements. I thought the same logic might be applied to this situation. I appreciate your input as I have no experience with this sort of thing on anything travelling more than 45km/hr.
