Now that I've jacked up my front bumper and one of my rims, i'm going to try to go aftermarket rims. I was thinking of going with some enkeis but the ones i want have a 5 bolt pattern....anyone know where i can get a conversion for cheap?

Maybe some company makes wheel adapters with a five lug pattern. The adapter is like a wheel spacer, it bolts to the original hub with the stock studs. The adapter then has it's own studs in a different pattern. VW guys use then to put Porshe rims on their cars. Don't know if anyone makes em though. That would be the cheapest route.

Is there an adapter to use a 5 bolt wheel on the 2003 Si's 4 bolt axle?

There is no adapter. You have to change the whole hub setup.

Here are a couple of trends talking about 5-lug conversions. If yiu still are looking for more info search the forums. Just type in five lug conversion and see what you come up with.

I'm doing the swap right now, it not that hard. I'll start a new thread on it later on tonight with the details, parts required, and pics.
