4 Lug Hubs Not Available?

OK, am I going crazy? I purchased an entire front crossmember assembly and it has 5 lug hubs.

I want to convert it to 4 lug so I thought, no problem I can just buy 4 lug hubs off rockauto or wherever...

I can't find anywhere to buy 4 lug hubs... like anywhere. What is the deal here? Am I an idiot? you can find 5 lug hubs.

I am fairly new to second gen stuff so please let me know if I am missing anything here.

the 4 lug hubs have been NLA for a while, it turns out they were only for the US market, everywhere else got the 4 piston calipers and 5 lugs standard.

your only bet is to find used, a WTB might be the way to go

Are you serious. I thought moving from first gen to second gen would solve this issue.

I hate stupid rx7s

You'll get much better options for wheels and brakes with the 5-lug.

I would just do use the 5-lug and enjoy life.
