Where can you obtain an adapter from? As I still would love to obtain the Blitz Shiftknob for my automatic. :(

Well I called Sparco and they told me that the adapters come in the box with the shift knob. "All the hardware is included in the package." So hopefully that helps.

E.g. OBX shift knobs for Toyota/Scion will come with adapters

OBX IS GARBAGE and i don't think anyone has ever used those adapters for a toyota/scion yet.......

Yeah, OBX isn't exactly fancy stuff and it is sort of ricey. I was looking at direct fit/screw on knobs and the only options for Toyota are TRD, OBX, and the 'sport' knobs that are optional for each vehicle.

From what I understand, the OBX (or OEM in general) knobs are threaded for manual transmissions on the shift knob itself, and the adapters/inserts are included in the event that the knob is to be installed on an automatic transmission.

This knob that I bought, made for the Scion tC, is made by "autobahn kraftwerks" and is called Speed Star Mesh (see picture below).

It screwed on directly to the the manual stick shift of my Yaris without the need for an adapter.
