| Good adapters are custom order and are usually about $50 each. |

They have some here...
http://www.adaptitusa.com/
Give em a call and see if they can fab em up for you.
Keep in mind that aside from the cost, they will push the wheel out, so you might have rubbing problems depending upon the offset.
Realistically, unless you're talking about incredible wheels that only come in 5-lug, just find some wheels that fit without adapters.
Were there wheels you had in mind? |

| Yea I agree with burstaneurysm if you don't have too stay with 4 lug...I did a 5 lug conversion on mines and it looked good with my Volk then 3 months down the road two of my wheel studs ripped off of my hub and my wheel almost fell off while I was driving. You just have to be careful if you do get one with the quality of metal they use and always got to check the adapter at least a couple of times in the month to make sure it is still tight...Just sharing my own experience with the adapters...haha well good luck! |

Adapters are extremely dangerous and I would never run them. If you choose to go ahead and get them anyway, be very cautious. The potential damage can be pretty scary. You probably don't want to end up part of the horror stories associated with adapters.
On a side note, don't waste your time and money with the 5x100 PCD. Every day I think about how much I hate it on my tC. 5x114.3 is way better. Much more variety of wheel options. |

| I bet he's trying to use stock tC wheels. That is what most use for motivation. Better idea is to use the wasted spacer money toward nicer 4X100 wheels. |

| My bad, the tC wheels are usually the motivation behind wanting 5X100. |

| Either way. I'm sure you can find something that will fit better without spacers/adapters and be just as good. |
