I have actually thought of this long time ago. I feel your pain. all the great looking chrome wheels are all 5 lugs! anyway, i was told by many that those lug adapters crack over time. having those things crack as you drive is not a good thing at all. It is just what i was told.. not sure if its true or not

There are hundreds of wheels for Civics and you can't find 4-lug wheels you like?

civics use a 4x100 bolt pattern (as do integras). 2.5tls use a 4x114.3 bolt pattern, so wheels from civics or tegs wouldn't fit on our tls.

Wheels meant for 4 lug accords built from 90-02 would fit on a 2.5

Sorry...the wheels for a 4 cyl Accord or Vigor will fit. There is no adapter and if someone made one, it wouldn't be safe. Think about it...what would you do the the 4 lugs? You have to replace the hubs.

how hard is it for the hubs from a 3.2 to be switched out to a 2.5...aren't the cars basically the same thing as far as the body and suspention concerned? if this swap is possible how much and how hard would it be to do?
