hello ephatch not a frequent poster but still...

so i've had my hatch for five months now and finally are sick of the crappy wheels that were on it when i bought it....some corroded konig remake 17" split five spokes.

so i have some cheap on-hand options

1. Refinsh the corroded BBS RXII's that are in my garage
they're 2 piece and 16" and think they would look good. but i will need a 4x100 to 5x100 adapter

2. Or get an adapter to mount my ORIGINAL enkei 92's but 14's seem a lil small

both are nice choices but 14's might be tight. i was able to fit 14's on my car at one point but i have heard others have not. also, appearance-wise, 14's might be too small.

have you considered selling all three sets and getting a set of wheels you really want?
