    Wheel Adapters question

    Just wondering but are these bad to use? i was lookin to see if i could find a converter from 4x100 and go to 5x100 since all the good wheels are 5lug and the 5 lug rsx conversion cost's way to much for me to do, if anyone can give some help on this would be cool thanks

    You would want to go 5x114.3

    5x100 is for subies and some toyotas and it sucks even more that 4x100

    just stick with the 4x100 that you already have and buy some proper wheel. Most high end wheels can be bought to fit

    yea but the wheels i like that are 4x100 cost 500 per wheel and that is just to insane of a price for me, do u know how safe runing on adapters is on a DD and what about 4x100 to 4x114.3

    Adapters should be fine as long as they are installed correctly, although I'm not a fan at all, i would just get wheels that fit instead of running them. If you really want to get them get it from a good company, u cant go cheap on these at all.

    pass, i've seen these conversions in person.. similar style to a large spacer and for that reason i wouldn't. just not a fan of them. wheels that fit will ALWAYS be safer than those that fit with spacers/adapters no matter what anyone may believe.

    you can get an 5 lug swap pretty cheap these days. pass on the adapters. assuming you would get decent adapters, it would only be a couple hundred more for the 5lug swap.

    i have never seen them under 400 and i will have to take my car to a shop to have someone to do it and they will prolly charge out the ass and prolly end up spending like 1k at the end vs 350 for the adap's and like 100 to install them prolly
