i just got some ce28ns. my question is regarding the bolt pattern. on the box and sticker behind the wheel it says 114.3 bolt pattern, however engraved or something on the edge of the rim it says 5 x 100 520kg. im hoping that the x100 isnt my bolt pattern and that the manufacture shoved 100bolt pattern rims in a 114.3 bolt pattern box?

a guy from the rx8 forum quoted this:
the rim has holes for 5 x100 but they're not nessisarily the drilled ones. looks like they have a different load rating when they are 5x100 since the rims are stamped with 5x100 520kg and on another part of the rim VIA 690kg.

i just want to verify the bolt pattern is truly 114.3 even though it says 5x100 along the edge of the rim.

here are some pix to help...

 

I don't know what is the 5x100, but the bolt pattern is the stickers that says 114.3. So, you did get the right bolt pattern.

 

or just measure it with a ruler.

just going by the pic, it looks like the right size.

 

Do the wheels bolt on or not? If they do, then who gives a **** what it says???

5x100 is Subaru.
Just test fit the rims and ignore what is "stamped" on the rim itself.
