Whats up Remmy!

If you are thinking about doing an ITR 5-lug it costs a little bit. Mine set me back 1500 with wheels and tires. I have seen the 5-lugs with out anywhere from 900-1250. The cheapest way would probably to get adapters made to switch them over. but then your wheels might stick out more. If you need some solid modeling done I could try and help you out.

You'll probably run into around $400 for the adapters at a machine shop... there's not much to them. and you can always shorten the existing lugs so that the adapter wouldn't have to be as thick..

400 for some adapters damn... They shouldnt be that much thats half way almost to a real 5-lug conversion. I would hope you would be able to get them for 200 or less. Never looked for them so I dont know the actual price. They should be really easy to make, we might be able to make them where I work if you have trouble finding some pre-made ones.

There are no pre-made ones. And I was gettign the worst-case scenario type of figure...they should be at least twice less than 400, but you should get hardened steel

The thing is, he doesn't need wheels and tires or suspension or any of that. I've seen ITR or CTR hubs and brakes go for 200-300 bucks. You'd get the 5-lugs and some bigass brakes while you were at it. I'll try and dig one up.

not sure if the hubs would bolt right up...

Im starting to get turned off by the idea since it will cost so damn much. I think all wheels are WAY overpriced for what they are. [:'(]

Try the adapter way...if you can get a VERY GOOD QUALITY cad file to me I might be aBle to cut a deal on the machining too...All you'll need to provide would be new studs...

i dont know.. but you guys.. pretty much make a big deal out of it. dont you know they can convert ur rims from 5 lugs to 4 lugs? uhhh yeahhh? they will drill new holes in ur rims to convert it into 4 lugs. so u dont have to mess with the rotor or hubs. but if the lugs are shown then ur gonna need a professional job on the wheel. now on TOP of that. there's another way around it. you know they can take ur hubs out and close all the holes up again and drill new 5 lugs into it? yeahhh.. all possible. u dont have to change all that .u need to take those hub to a weld shop to close them up and using a spacer that already has the hole. they carefully spray on the spacer attach to the hubs so they can remove the spacer and drill those hole perfectly. it's all simple. there's civic and accord out here in miami ridin on 22" rims 5 lugs that done that job. they lower the transmission, and motor mount with rings and rear mount so that the axle doesnt damage. some of them even did a b20 swap on it from the crv since it has more torque than a single cam.
