Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
the difference is in the size of the axles. some people have a hard time replacing the 36mm axles.
id say keep your eyes open for the deals that come with stock itr wheels for 1000 bucks.

Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
Why? Age-old argument, but why add weight to a hatchback, especially weight right there?
I never will understand the 5-lug swap on a 88-00 hatchcrap. All that money you put into the swap and you could've had a better BBK and kept the weight down, all at the same time.

I get the JDM ones with wheels for like $1050 ish shipped. W/O wheels for like $700ish shipped. Going rates are about 1500 and 1000 respectively. The 36mm axle thing is no big deal. I figured out a solution like a year ago.

Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
The prices listed in the post sound good to me. Looking for a 5 lug swap with wheels. If anyone has a set or know anyone that does, let me know.

Another is that the Integra R uses the same brake parts from the CR-V and Prelude. Maybe parts might be cheaper for those.

What was the difference?
And for under $1K, you can buy a set of 4x100 10lb 15x7 Enkeis.
"Value" is not a good argument IMO

Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
parts wise base brakes are roughly half the cost of the ITR, depending on what you get it can be even less than 1/2 price
the other problem you'll have is actually finding a usdm 5 lug with decent bushings. they really don't come up for sale THAT often.
mostly jdm itr stuff on the market. and or stolen usdm

Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
Actually didn't think about the cost of a light set of wheels would be around the same. Haven't driven the hatch yet, will be setting up the deal this weekend.
The difference between the Type R and a GSR or LS is significant, totally blew me away on the first drive.
Thanks for the info on the axles, that cleared up the muddy waters.

i like 5 lug for the reason of being able to get different rims. some only come in 5 lug.
i want em because i think the type SH blades look nice on integras.

Value = mine was technically free, including wheels and tires
Like another poster said, certain wheels only come in 5lug.
And the braking upgrade is significant.
The brakes on my ef are eye popping good - stock itr calipers.
I'm keenly aware of the unsprung weight. I may get custom chromoly knuckles to combat this.
But all my other cars are 5lug and for me it just makes sense.
* on my new ef project, I'm having some custom 5lug hubs made by my machinist friend - for $200/ pr, that's much more reasonable than what's oem available.
I started to do a groupbuy, but the thread got locked.

Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
I wish I could find some stock usdm type r wheels!! Actually I finally got some but real crappy condition... need paint but that's another topic. So it looks like 700-1000 is the going rate for a 5 lug, not bad.

Re: going price for 5 USDM lug conversion
What wheels, other than heavy OEM wheels, only come in 5x114? Volk, SSR, Enkei, etc can all be had in 4x100 and 5x114 (unless you want to run 18's or something, and that kinda defeats the purpose anyways).
