Default wheel adapters not so clear.

well i found a good deal on some 4x114.3 wheels and i own a civic which as everyone knows is 4x100.
Now ive been looking everywhere and havent found any 15mm or smaller adapters.
i saw opposum post about pandagarage but there adapters cost 240.
What's the cheapest way to get these wheels on my car?

Hit up Ralph with a pm and he will point you in the right direction.He knows quite a bit about wheels.I guess the only other option is to convert to 114 but thats gotta be more than 240?

Yes sir Opossum name is Ralph he is a really cool guy and he will help you out as long as your not in a hurry he takes a few days sometimes to sign on here.The only other thing I can think of is getting the 114 hub assemblies and swapping them out for your 4x100's and maybe getting the rotors redrilled?Dont quote me on that I am unsure if the swap is possible.

why not just get wheels that fit your car? its gonna be cheaper/easier than adapting. adapter run about 50-60 each so $240 is a fair price.

also if you google "wheel adpater", the first three sites all sell them. also an adapter will always act as a spacer so keep that in mind for proper fitment

it wont happen. using wheel adapters require having a car that uses lug bolts and not lug nuts. the adapter has to bolt onto the hub.

with serious modification you can make the adapter work, but im talking about using locktite and making it semi-permanent.

the damage isnt worth it

at least as much as i know i havent found anyone who sells adapters that would work with hub that uses lug nuts

you must not have looked hard. 98% of adapters use lug nuts.
so please, try not to pass along false info without thoroughly vetting your info.
