ive seen a site with them, cant remember though. i saw it on nasioc, where some guy with a wrx (5x100) wanted to use some 05-06 STi (5x114.3) wheels on his car and got conversion spacers for 80 dollars.

heres these, but 500 dollars though.

Here are some pictures of the spacer

From the pictures, you will notice that one of the original bolts has to be removed because it will overlap with the bolt on the spacer

P.S. special thanks to Win Yakumo for the pics

(if the pics doesn't show, just right click then to "show picture")

Finally,

lol, what a great idea!

I see a lot of our cars in Thai w/ 5 lugs conversion..
not be pesimist, but how safe and reliable are these spacers?

Iunno, it just doesn't seem safe to remove a bolt off that and have only 3 holding it on. The pressure won't be spread over the spacer evenly. Its nice but how safe is it.

It is ok as long as you don't autocross/drift with it

Actually there's a better alternative but much more difficult to do (relocating the bolts)

Rims are SEX, but iunno, i would be afraid they would fly/fall off. I couldn't risk it with those sexy wheels.

looks very nice and and not that hard of a mod to install, but might be better just to do the real conversion..you'd spend more money, but you know you'd be safe in the long run..
