every set of those wheels i see for sale on club4ag.com and ebay are 4x114.3 lug pattern. whats this going on? i dont think anyone can make you a set as these are old school and discontinued. redrilling these to 5x114.3 pattern is highly not recommended. and if you do find someone who can make you a custom set, you can expect to cough up 2k up since a fairly clean mint condition set runs in the 1k-1500 range.

Maybe you could find or had made a 5 lug to 4 lug adapter, at least it would be cheaper then having rims made.

 

Edit: found you some, the picture isn't the actual adapter but it should be the right kind if your adapting a 5x114.3 to a 4x114.3.

No, its not a steal because they sell every day for that price in 15x6 or 15x7, the baby sizes as i like to call them. They are SSR xr-4 Starsharks the big boy sizes are the expensive ones like the type 9j in 15x9 -20 and 9.5 -25 for about 1500-1700 a PAIR or 15x10 -40 for 1200 a PAIR. Remember folks thats only 2 wheels so youre looking at 2500-3500 for a full set of 4 all one size or staggered.

 

What is a steal is when a full set goes for 1500 or less, which is very unlikely and you are very lucky if you can find them for that. Ive looked for a few years and only one set i know of meet that criteria, and they werent MINT (Like i want). Your best bet is the RBR group buy....although im looking at other options =)

lol, telling him to buy rota's? if your going from ssr longchamps to rota's, then you seriously probably dont care about what brand wheels your buying. 500.00 is a deal if your asking me. especially real ones! by the way, they are not starsharks! these will sell fast for the 240sx guys in the 700 ball park and even to the ae86 guys. im not sure where you find these for sale for that price everyday but i would be interested in buying them just to sell to the local guys and make some extra cash assuming no shipping on top, because then that would change the whole deal.

Those weren't Rotas, they were some other oddball brand (Drag R. I was presuming top quality and reputation was NOT the primary issue, since $500/set was the price bandied about; I was trying to help find him a five lug wheel that looked about the same. When last I checked, those were available in 5x patterns; last night I didn't find it on the site I got the hit on.
