Yes, those are adaptors and they actually look like pretty good quality if you ask me. I wouldn't buy any that were $3.99 or something, but those look pretty good 
I'd double check all those measurements they give you and make sure you won't have any clearance problems...

.... just because its on eBay doesnt make it shitty quality. Its just a market place. Its up to the consumer weather the product they get is high or low quality.
That item looks decent... like he said, I would do some measuring.

Your lugs come through the spacer, bolt down, then the lugs sticking out of the spacer are your 5-lug swap....
Just choose your offset wisely....those things are pretty thick, we don't want you riding mexi with the wheels 2" out of the fenders homes....

That's what I thought it should be, but I don't see any holes for the 4 lugs in that spacer? Maybe just on the backside?

Run far far away... these things are a bad idea.
No one should consider these especially since you have all the parts available from the 5th gen if you really wanted to change to 5x114.3.

Re: (russlan44)
haha like i've been telling you guys, i have a 5 lug swap for sale. and those hub adapters are used more on vw's than anything.
also, that thing is 42.25 mm, meaning that with a wheel with a +45 offset, you're now running +2.75

Re: (soundbomber)
I knew this thing seemed too easy. I wouldn't want to bother with crazy offsets either.

Re: whats this? ebay adapter dealy
Do the 5-lug conversion or don't do it at all. As mentioned above, an adapter will totally screw up your wheel offset, especially considering you already have rims you want to put on it.
