see if you all agree to this.. this came from the OPTION magazine. and sold 23000 yen. 2 changer is consider 1 set. so actually all for is 46,000 yen. this a product made by BATTLE CLUB of JAPAN. i guess now we can all run with 5 lugs!! ( unfortunately, they dont have a website. but phone number is available from their advertisement in the magazine for orders.) CIAO!!

i've seen them, one of the company here carries it, but it's not the same type though.  here's the thing, it's sort of like a wheel spacer... how much would u trust it?  i wouldn't... if the plate happens to crack or one of the "additional" lug happens to break loose...  bamn! that's one easy way to total your car.

Sad thing is that I think a lot of people will do it for the look rather than the actual performance value of 5 lug. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

well, it's more than the looks, is more like... easier to get rims? &nbsp;try to find a nice set of rims for s13 w/ a good offset...
say, i'm looking for 11.4x4, 17x8, +32mm offset... as far as i know, it's impossible to find, or it's like $2000 for 'em

it was a long time ago, i saw it on an ad in super street magazine. &nbsp;and i said to myself, this is the sadest thing ever. &nbsp;and it's not i don't want to provide you w/ the info, just that i have too many of 'em, i hate to flip through 'em... &nbsp;took me hours to find a page that i wanted to see about how to make cf hood

oh ok man, &nbsp;i understand... perhaps i ll just go and write an email to super street (if this the magazine you are very sure) about these lugchangers. &nbsp;i know they wont be greedy providing such info since i bought bunch of those magazines as well. &nbsp;thanks.

i would never put that on my car just to get 5 lugs!

the swap isnt much money at all. cost me
160 for front knuckle spindle and hubs- used
110 for rear hubs-used
50 for s14 ball joints-new
200 for s14 rims with tires-used
and around 10 bucks for s14 strut mount bolts-new

530 bucks for it all to do it the RIGHT way

install was done by me and can done by anyone who has any knowledge of cars

i just did the 5 lug swap on my s14 base. All you need is s14 SE front spindles/hubs, ands rear hubs. It was fairly easy just took time, I did springs and shocks at the same time though. Just check the FAQ like camp said, its all there.

Bad MOJO.....Why do you need the spindles too?Why can't you just change out the hubs and rotors?Will the hub not come off the spindle? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>
