Default 5 X 114.3 wheels

Any way to make these fit? I stopped by a few places to get some ideas for my gauge pod and one place had a complete set of 17 inch no name wheels with rubber for 650. They looked pretty nice, but like the title says, their 5X 114.3...

Mercedes wheels are 5X112.

Wobble bolts is the way to go. Check out RaderWerks: http://www.raderwerks.com/

Hmmm, I'm thinking I might need to have a nice chat with the wife when she gets off work! Good thing they're 5 X 114, I probably would have bought them on sight if they had been 112s...

Then again, better to ask forgiveness than permission...!

Well, all the way from the 107 chassis, they've been running 5X112 bolts. If you're talking about the older chassis, I don't think those wheels will even clear our brakes.

Newer Lexus are also 5X114.3. Most of the wheels in that bolt pattern are a lot cheaper and also not a lot of people in the scene run them.

Audi/ Euro scene is what I assume you mean? So some wobble bolts to fit 114s on an Audi is toeing the line of rice?

Yup, mostly the Audi scene. There's also a way of running adapters depending on the current offset of the wheels.

I wouldn't call it rice my self as a lot of the wheels available for the JDM market are actually nice. Work wheels, Rays, and other well-known Japanese brands usually make the wheels in 5X114.3. There are some 5X112 out there but they are usually custom made and cost a fortune.
