I think you will find they have been illegal in every state for many years unless they are provided by the OEM.  Here is a link to Vic Roads which should help.

that vicroads link refers to wheel spaces not wheel adaptors, and yes spacers are illegal

but theis are classed as wheel adaptors, and when purchased from most tyre shops they come with the paperwork and report

John is right on the money there. I was in the tyre game for years as a tech trainer for Bob Jane T-Marts. the difference is that the adaptors are fitted directly to the hub, while the spacers are really just a giant washer and can cause the wheel to work loose under load.
