Really want to get this set of rims but they are only available in 5x114.3 :frown:

Should i go the conversion route? How much approx. will it cost me? Opinions please

Unless you can get an absolute bargain on that particular set (that would justify the extra expense of the 5-stud conversion), surely you can get the same wheel in a 4x100 version?

The only reason I could see to get a 5-stud conversion would be to get a set of low-offset wheels. These are particularly hard to find in 4x100.

Like others have said it would probably be cheaper and easier to find those wheels in 4x100...

What about these. Locally available 4 stud in 15\", 16\" & 17\" for under $200 each?

Yeh thats why I'd like to find out how much the conversion will cost.

It's not easy finding the perfect set of wheels is it? Patience - Patience!!!

mossy - That's where I found those silver RG's! Bought an exhaust through that site too.

OMY005 - Not bad looking rims, through which vendors?

Advanti is the brand enforcer is the model. I have seen this brand of wheel at most wheel & tyre places except Bob Jane (they bring in there own branded stuff).

These one's look very similar?

mazlot had them on a car at the natmeet try a pm.

Yeah, they have some good stuff there. Have you used a Japan Auction service to pay for and ship for you? the vast majority of sellers dont ship overseas.

Sorry

I have too many pics of wheels and didn't look closely to see which one's I posted. The Konig's and Advanti appear to be the same wheels with different stickers on them. Ozzytyres stock Konig though. But I haven't seen them anywhere else. Advanti I have seen lots of.

I've used this guy Rob http://www.rampant.net.au/ he's in Melbourne and from my dealings he's been great. I think he is actually the person who started the supra forums.

I just looked for what I wanted gave him the auction id and my max spend (plus a deposit)and he does the rest.
