wheel adapters for 4 x 110 to 4 x 100? wtf?
 

well, looks like he has a pretty sweet ride, not sure what he has for that dual exhaust, but if he needs wheel spacers for that car, kinda makes me wonder.

Thats the kalamari kit or whatever, right?

Dude what are you talking about? Hes not selling a car, hes selling wheel adapters...

I'm talking about his car.

I know what he's selling.

not a bad idea. except it blws your offset measurements all to hell. Then there's the matter of most of that billet aluminum machined away to accomodate the lug nuts, leaving a very thin layer of soft metal the only thing holding on your wheel studs.

yeah you would kinda have to know how much that changes your offset.

His wheels seem to fit fairly well though...

why would you want 4x100 anyway?

why would people want a marine bilge pump under their car hood for 'performance'?

there's one born every minute, I suppose.

If I'm remembering correctly, 4x100 is the common Honda bolt pattern. This would give you a VERY wide choice of wheels for the non-SE cars...

Offset isn't going to be a problem if you use the correct rims.

I know Honda, Mazda, Toyota, VW, EVERYBODY uses 4x100.

But what's the point? You can't trust adapters for daily driving or for racing. The only use for them, really, is for a show vehicle.

FYI: the adapter is 1 inch thick...i asked him.

So you'd basically be looking for 50mm offset wheels. :puke:

See they have all the goodies in Puerto Rico, Japan, and Australia for the rotaries. :(

He's even got the dual exhaust on the car. (I don't know how)

Honestly, the spacer looks pretty well made, and as Revhead said, if you get the right wheels, it doesn't matter how much offset it gives.

$75.00 is ALOT cheaper and less headaches than a GSL-SE suspension swap guys.

$75... I couldn't trust wheel spacers that sold for $75 for four of 'em, and if that's $75 each then $300 is an awful lot of money to spend to not only make your car useless, but require purchasing aftermarket wheels anyway.

Don't beat around the bush Peejay,...:doh:

Tell us how you really feel. Don't keep it bottled in. :p:

-lafz...:crackup:

I take it you've had bad experiences with spaces in the past then? I don't have any with them, so I don't know.:confused:

i would buy them if i didnt already hunt down a gsl-se suspension and hung on to it with my dear life.

anyway one bad thing is that if these were made from a professional buisness i garuantee the first thing you would read when opening the box is

CAUTION NOT INTENDED FOR RACE USE

I think I will just do, front GSL-SE susp. with a narrowed ford 9 inch... I think that will do the 114.3X4 :) with a nice set of mickeys LOL

I'm with peejay on this one.

If the spacer is 1" thick, and those huge holes have been drilled out to allow the lug nuts to sit flish, you have maybe 1/8" aluminum flange holding your wheel to the axle.

Ever tried grabbing a 1/8" aluminom flange with pliers and twisting pr pulling? That stuff will bend and even tear quite easily. This is why Audi is winning accolades for new aluminum manufacturing techniques - it's difficult to do properly and when done so it's very, very expensive and why aluminum construction on delecate, critical, load baring pieces is only seen on higher end Audis and unobtanium like the Acura NSX and Lotus Elise... and even THEN it's body components.

These spacers would be dangerously lethal in either street or race applications. They'll bend or shear under torque - assuming they don't get chewed up just from you torqueing them onto the axle hub.

Yeah, if the disc is 1" think, and even if the lug bolts it comes with are fit in with minimum tolerances, you still have to deal with the fact that the holes to mount the adapters to you axle are thin at the base, and not only that, but you'd still have to find appropriate lug bolts to mount the adapter to your axle, 'cause there's no way the stock lug bolts with their conical portion would do a halfway decent job of attaching the adapter to the axle.

got a question... been talking to my dad(the all knowing) he said if it was steel then no prob. but its heavy... i have a relative that works at a machine shop and i bet i can get this made in steel... what would you all think about that? what would you pay?

Why doesn't someone just make one out of steel if the aluminum is that weak

dammit, badass beat me too it

Just as long as you aren't teasing us, like you did with headlight kit:D :D

Why not have it made up in titanium and have both strengtn and lightness?
