    For my temp wheels i picked up a set of Racing Hart C2's, owner stated they are both 5x114.3 and 5x100...negative...only 5x114.3 and 4x114.3. So i'll have to buy a 15-20mm 5x100 to 5x114.3 stud adapter (safe?) to make them fit. Now I just came across these old school 3pc Volks that are 5x100 that i like too so i am torn, which wheels?

    18x7.5 Racing Harts with adapter (Then i'll be able to put these on pretty much any car lol)

    OR
    17x8 3pc Volk GR-C

    Racing Hart's look sick on the suby, but adapters scare me, plus all the adapter are atleast 15-20mm, and cost $180 :eek:hnoes:.

    I like the Racing Harts... I've never had anything go wrong with adapters.

    go with adapters, they will be fine... they just get a bad rep.

    I agree. Tha racing Harts look sick. Too bad they are not the C5; they look great on anything.

    Why do you keep spending money on a car you are trying to sell?


    Have you decided to keep it?

    ^it's still up for sale, wheels needed to go on. If i had a option to opt out i would. Need atleast 17's for Santa Run's Lil Tali session. The stock 16's with almost bald tires aren't up for it. Let me borrow the slicks? I won't spend money on these lol.

    I don't know if the adapter will be too much since they are 15mm, make the wheels stick out too much? Offset on Harts is 42mm, but my fenders are rolled for my 19's.

    I think both are terrible -- sorry :(

    And I also think you should shy away from any wheel that requires more than a 5mm spacer, but that's just me. Proper wheel/tire fitment is the only option!

    ^these are temp wheels, the Harts do look good on the not with the wing tho. I would put a smaller spacer but all the 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapter are 15mm or greater.

    Then pick a new wheel. Anything over 5mm on a daily use puts unnecessary stress on everything IMO.

    i am only gonna need these wheels for very lil time, i am gonna be tracking the car for 1 day (reason i might stay away from adapters) on either set, then wheels will be sold off. If i can find a better set then i'll get those.

    Freakin nice wheels, but way too much $$$ for temp wheels. I want 18x9 or 9.5 and i'll be set with wheels so till i get something with those number everything else will be temp.

    it will be hard time to fit 9" or 9.5" wheels without some serious fender work but good luck anyways

    i found some sick 18x9.5 5x100 so cross fingers. Fenders i am not worried about since i already have them rolled. I have 35mm 19x8.5 (in sig) that i used to run on the car.
