Wheel adapters, who makes?

Hi. I saw a few years back some wheel adapters for the
1st gens for sale. They enabled you to use aftermarket
rims( converted the lug pattern). My search of the forum found 0. If anyone has information about them please let me know. Also I wanted to say "Hey" to everyone! Thanks, Steve

I got mine from AIM Industries. If you get some, do not try and use the stock lug bolts!!!! they are to short.. don;t even ask how I found this out. I had to chase a rim down the street. lol
I have since put in studs and all is good, been beating on them heavily and they are staying nice and tight.
The rims I am using know are 17*7 with a 35mm offset. They just barely work and I get some rubbing on the front fender lips on big bumps ( should of rolled them before I pianted). But any rim over +40mm will work much better, most 7" wide rims for hondas are +40 to +43. I had these laying around so I am using them for the time being.

Well, the motor is a piston engine. I saved the car from the crusher and had an extra Ford 2.3turbo/5-speed combo laying around so I stuck it in there. The motor is made up of left over junk from other projects, but doesn't run to bad. Went 8.40's at 84.5mph in the 1/8th on the skinny 13's.
