number of rim studs

[Trini]

hey, is it possible to get any rim with multistuds, i know some can but can all rims come in multistud or only some? i only ask cos my accord is a 4 stud and if i wanted to get a new car and keep my rims i'd have to choose carefully...
thanks

yes some rims do come in multistuds, not all.

Many aftermarket rims are manufactured as "blanks" which get drilled to order or to demand. So yeh its possible you can get a 5 studded rim of the same design. But to modify a 4 stud to a 5 stud, that would compromise the strength of the rim.

I wouldnt trust the strength of those one-fits-all multistudded ones, they seem a bit dodgy.

Your best bet is to sell the 4 stud rims and buy the equivelent or similar 5 stud rims.

What brand and model are the rims?

unless you're planning to go from 4x114.3 -> 4x100 (not 5 stud), don't bother.. as Eurodude has stated, going from 4 stud to 5 stud weakens the rim somewhat..

but if you're going 4x114.3 -> 4x100, there are a few multistud rims available for those pcd's

i don't have any rims i was just wondering incase i decided to sell the car and get a car which had 5 stud, cos my cousin had rims that fitted 4 stud and 5 stud, so was just wondering, i'll prob just get a 4 stud and do whatever later, cheers people

hey mate, they are mainly 4 stud cars out there besides from, the
DC2R,EURO,DC5R and a few others,
Accords,civics ef, eg, ek and even integra ls,gsi etc come mostly in 4 stud.
your best bet is to just buy rims to suit your accord as other cars besides the top few i have mentioned are usually 4 x 100 so this fits most of ur average cars.
