Has anyone off here purchased this kit

NISSAN 240SX S13 FRONT & REAR 5-LUG CONVERSION SET | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-240SX-S13-FRONT-REAR-5-LUG-CONVERSION-SET-/140506892103?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A240SX&hash=item20b6dd0747)

I would search for it but i don't have a name to search with, but i was wondering if it actually has OEM bearings as it says (Using OEM bearing and these are met all OEM factory quality) I have heard ichibas are junk and would like OEM but if the bearings are the same then i don't see much of a difference

thanks.

I bought the fronts... Meh

Like ^ said, debadged ichiba. Fitment/quality was fine, no comment on bearings I have yet to drive on them.

I contacted the seller and he guaranteed they are oem. But, it is eBay...

Be sure to keep your stock hub bearing for backups

Do you need 5 lug? I don't understand why so many people need 5 lug. Rotors are so easy to drill to 4 lug and there are tons of wheels for 4 lug.
When they say OEM, it means its design same as OEM and not different.
However the bearing could be made of wooden material made to last 2 miles of driving. So careful what you buy. Japanese bearings are known to last that's why everyone uses them. You take apart a GM car and you will see most bearings are made in Japan, not USA.
As for this so called ebay brand, the designer could have the bearings made out of any cheap material and any cheap manufacturing plant.

and would like OEM

than why not just get s14/z32 hubs. people are always slanging them in the FS section.

no one NEEDS five lug, unless they dont want the hassle of drilling out rotors and want to buy wheels that dont suck ass.

but whatever
