    They do hubcentric, but they will NOT do any adapters from 5 lug to 4 lug, only 5 lug to 5 lug...lame

    I got mine from www.performance-cafe.com. They work with a company that works with HRE, Tech Art...and all the major players for custome adapters and spacers. I mean these guys put Ferrari wheels on VW and old school Toyota's. So you know their shit is hot!!

    They don't list the adapters on their website but if you call them and ask for Mike (the owner) he'll tell you about them. Tell him you know Art in San Diego. But these MoFo's ain't cheap! If you want cheap get H&R adapters...$175/pair for 25mm 4x100-5x130 adapters.

    I live in SD so we have huge open freeways(well at 2am anyway), so it's not uncommon to get my e30 up past 130mph. I wanted to make sure my hardware is legit!! Cause you can afford to have cheap shit at that speed.

      SoCal: thank you so much, ill try this out tonight for sure.
      No problem. Remember...it's not a oxy torch or a welder, you won't melt the metal. So don't be affraid of getting those bolts hot.

      Wait.....is the adapter siezed on with the bolts running trough it?? If so, it may be hard to get the bolts heated up. If that's the case try heating it from the back or anyway to get the siezed threads hot. Good luck.

        Damn so $350? That seems pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for. Do they do 4x100-5x120? I could run some nice wheels.

        EDIT: Elliot you should keep just the tips chromed, paint the can with a high-temp spray in black. Its a subtle touch that works nicely. Do you have HID's? If so what Kelvin?

        Next time use some Anti-Sieze on everything? Or did you?

          That really isn't bad considering H&R 20mm spacers are $100/pair and considering the price of a 5 lug conversion (which you still can't do to 5x130).

          So H&R actually makes those adapters? I didn't know they made any sort of adapters. I take it they are hubcentric? Are they on your car yet?
