He's not asking what they are. He's askin where to get them from.

I got my adapters from Bob a couple years back before he had his own shop. Pretty sure he still deals with H&R so he would be the very first person I would be calling. Price was best in town, service was best (H&R sent out 1 adapter that was wrong, Bob contacted them and had a new one shipped to me immediately).

As 5000Audi mentioned, I have never heard of 5x114.3 -> 5x100 adapters either.

Are you sure it's not the other way around? 5x100 -> 5x114.3 would mean you want to run a 5x114.3 wheel on a 5x100 car.

If you have to go custom I'd get in touch with www.adaptitusa.com

wow... I'm a retard haha. Looking for 5x100 to 5x114.3 :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Fuck...

Call up any sponsor and see if they can order something in for your application :)

Now it's going to depend on who (if anybody) is making hubcentric adapters that would fit a Subaru perfectly. I'd recommend calling up Bob @ UrbanX as he is quite knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

Thanks :)

I wanna pick up a set of wheels that are 5x114.3, great deal but they won't fit ugh.

[5000Audi]

lol sorry i thought you didnt know how they changed them. my bad.. but yeah i kinda wondered why i could not find those style.. but yeah call around.. even have a looksie on ebay.. they looked around 100 a pair..

[psycoticclown]

Dammit... $100 a pair? :( Not even going to make it worth it than :(

Is it even safe to drill new holes? The wheels I'm looking at have an extra set of holes but they aren't bored for lugs. Will it damage the integrity of the wheels if I get them bored for 5x100?

mmmm i dont think thats a good idea man. haha

not recommended even though the holes are there...

Redrills are actually pretty common but it really depends on what the bolt pattern currently is, and what bolt pattern you are looking to achieve.

5x114.3 -> 5x100 is way too big of a change to consider redrill.

Again if all else fails and you really want to run 5x100's I'd get in touch with Adaptitusa.com. Alot of ppl on VWVortex have ordered adapters from these guys and have been satisfied with the product and their service.

if its the wheels that I think he is looking at (I posted regarding them in that thread), the wheels already have a dual drill pattern, but only the 5x114.3 holes are bored out to have the conical seat for the lugs to seat... the other holes (which I believe are the 5x100 holes, not completely sure though) are just raw holes... you'd you'd have to find someone to bore those out to seat the lugs properly, but by that time, you're probably better off getting the adapters as to not compromise the structural integrity of the wheel...

and off topic, but your VW blew by me the earlier this week on macleod way over the speed limit, but I know it wasn't u driving. :D
