Default 5 lug converter

Anyone know where or how I can find a part that changes my XB from a 4 lug to a 5 lug?

Why do you need 5 lugs?

hmmm thats alot of work for "a better choice of rims"


I bet 80% of rim selection you can choose 4 or 5 lug pattern....total waste of time and money

But I know I know....someone needs the excuse "I wanna be different and unique"

i dont know about 5, but i found a ton of cool JDM wheels with perfect offset, but they only come in 4x114.3

So I see your problem. I found a couple on eBay that looked decent. I cant verify how great though. They were averaging right around 100 bucks.

Not even close!

I wanted a simple 5 pointed star wheel, no rivets, chrome, 4 lug.

98% of the wheels I looked at were 5 lug only!

So changing over to 5 lug sure would have helped me in my search.

Maybe for you "something close" is good enough, but not for me.
I set my mind on something, I'll figure out how to do it!

that pic is a poor example...
it has a center cap that shows five luggs...it could just as easy have 3-4-5 luggs behind the center cap.
