Was working on my civic today, neighbor called me across the street, said he had some rims he'd sell me. $100 for all four. Brand new tread, rims look new, gunmetal I believe. 5+ lug. Had em on a neon. Only problem is, my car is a 4 lug, and these are 5. Can I buy an adapter? And also, I need help on what brand they are. Thanks

Just sell the rims and get a 4 lug. They make adapters but I don't know if they have that specific size or not (5 lug to 4x100) you will have to look. I also wouldn't use adapters because it will make the wheels stick out further which will change the riding and handleing of the car. They are also not as safe! Just sell those, you could get more then $100 and get yourself a nice set of 4x100. I don't know what kind they are? They look like something from Pep-Boys.

The thinnest adapters I've seen are 25mm thick, that turns your very reasonable wheels to extremely low offset ones that will not fit the car well. They're also not exactly inexpensive, even the generic ebay ones are a couple hundred dollars. You can convert the car to five lug, but the parts come out to about $900.

I'd just sell them and buy a set of four lug wheels. They look like some random generic brand.

There are a few 4x100 to 5 lug adapters. The issue with some of them is that one of the holes/bolts crosses over partially with the original 4x100 holes and therefore I don't think it's the safest option.
