i had bogart i 10s on my car. it is still 5 lug. well in the back it is 5 lug, went to 4 lug in the front, it is too much of a pita to make 13" wheels fit over the 5 lug. they say it can be done, but i said the hell with it. the 3 piece bogarts are way liighter anyway.

I Disagree its only a matter of changing calipers, using extra washers on the calipers, and modifying the oem rotors. I used them on my civic without problem and the car stopped on a dime on a set of 13x8 5x114.3 lug pattern with 22" slicks.

I am using Welds. Get them in Domestic pattern....5 x 4.5 and they are much cheaper than buying the Weld Import version. The domestic stuff is a lot cheaper.

Right now...not sure, but up until the past few years, the import Weld pricing was crazy. The domestic price was constantly cheaper. I know I saved almost $150 bucks going with the domestic version a few years back.

Talked to Wil at SEMA and said he is probably going to offer 5-lug 15" wheels. PM'd him about it yesterday to get an update.

Either or wouldn't matter, LS/GSR calipers, you get the oem R rotors machined down to a 10.4" diameter(Same diameter as LS/GSR rotors) and you use an extra set of washers on the caliper bolts, one set of washers on the inside and one on the other side of the bolts mounting points that connect the calipers to the spindle itself. Sounds complicated but once hands on its simple.

I honestly cant remember the backspacing or offset but if you search Im sure it is in the group buy thread when the ITR guys got the one run slipstreams. we could only get one color which was gloss black. they didnt make many

How big of a spacer do you have? I always wondered about getting some domestic wheels...

I was using my stock CTR rims with my 22x8x15 MT slicks, but the sidewalls would buldge over under 12psi and appear almost flat. I recently got some wider Spoon (slipstream) rims and at 8 psi the slicks still look hard.

I can get a pair of Weld Prostars in a 5x 114.3 bolt pattern for about $400 brand new at quite a few places. That seems like a pretty good price to me compared to the import magnums. I know they're not the same model wheels, but the OP didn't specify what model of wheel he was looking for. Only the size.

Can you get Prostars? You're a Weld dealer, right?
