all these companies would not sell them if they were unsafe..just as long as you use the correct hardware to mount them and use them only for highway/regular street then i say they are fine. i personally used some for almost 3 years w/o any problems on my old truck and have plenty of my friends who have as well. just be aware of them and check on them every once in awhile that the bolts are seating correctly and tight. talk to jimmy at panda garage about them. he is very helpful.

yes it will give it a lower offset but the wheel he has is like 50 offset(15x6?) i think and the adapter is 15mm so it will bring it down to about 35 offset which is not bad at all for a honda

actually, the ones listed below are 20mm. the ones above are 15mm.. i know this because i asked him in person and looked at the actual ones he sells..

anyways..yes, they do have 4x100--&gt;5x114 2 piece style adapter but they are very thick like 44mm and it will push out your wheel that much more..here are a few links w/ info in them:

http://www.hondamarketplace.co...83040

and this ebay link to get some for about $200 shipped:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...l1247

oh and discount tire sells new wheels so they rather have the customer purchase new then rather them get some spacer/adapters and make old wheels fit.. get it? like they want you to spend money...i mean.. i also recommend getting the right size and pattern wheel first but then i also have a 'make it fit' type attitude when it comes to after market stuff.
