I have a set, and I wouldn't trust them for track use. But, for show purposes, they're just fine.

Keep in mind, the wheels you put over them will need clearance for the 4x100 studs.

check out how much clearance you will get with a set of those, you probably need 50-60 et for stockish look with those spacer/adopter

What inspection? There's no "inspection" here in Wisconsin.

My only question is why? What advantage does a 4x114 have over the 4x100 if you aren't getting the type r brakes with them. Except for maybe putting the 4x114 type r wheels on your car.

And if this is the fact you couldn't even put the type r wheels on there. you would just be mouting 4x100 wheels from the 4x114 holes.

Maybe I'm way off but I just dont see an advantage to these. In the end the only thing you are getting is the spacer and then you might as well get a regular 4x100 spacer.

I said, if you're going for "show purposes". It's simply so you can run some 4x114.3 wheels on a car that isn't equipped with that bolt pattern. A lot of wheels have solid hub designs, so they wouldn't work with these converters, because there's no clearance at all for the existing studs. But, there's probably just as many (if not more) that do not have solid hub designs, and can clear the stock studs just fine (I happen to have 4 sets of wheels that are 4x114.3 that run perfectly fine on my stock hub Civic).
