I want these rims that i cant find anywhere but they only come in 5 stud pattern...

any1 got info on how to change the stud pattern on an integra? offset now is 4x100...seen some disc rotors with no holes so u drill your own stud pattern

this could work....is there now thing like a spacer type thing u could use or anything?

you can either do a lug/brake conversion

or you can get an adapter which sit on ur 4 studs but have a 5 stud pattern. the adapters that i am referring to are available in "most" good tyres shops.
it is available in any PCD, meaning if you need to customised -it can be done.

However, Honda PCD-> in general are either either 4x100 , 4x114.3 or 5x114.3

so if you are using the adapter, you will retain the use of ur 4x100, the adapter will then sit on ur current setup but with 5 studs which is A PCD of 5x114.3.

the only drawback can be either positive or negative depending on how you look at it. Note that the use of the adapter will push the your rims outwards, similiar in the case of using spacers. And if you know the pros and cons on using spacers you will know what i'm talking abt , else research is ur friend.

apart from that, you don't need to use blank rotors as in ur links, because if are using the adapter, you basically reuse ur rotors and calipers. Infact its really a plug and play setup:) - btw the adapter will not add too much weight coz they are made of alu-alloys ;)

g'luck....

i doubt that there is a brand.

but if you want it to be branded you can try H&R <- pricey but
else your good local tyre place will have it:)

Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure 'adaptors' are illegal.

Adapters are legal
The use of them on a road registered vehicle is prohibited

"temp tyres" and "impossible" in the same sentance???

I wouldn't have been surprised if they just said they will fit without the adaptors....
