four to five bolt adapter
Anybody know if any company makes one of these? Basically, I have some sweet five bolt wheels off the car I traded in for my new four bolt protege and I really would rather re-use them than sell them.

The adaptor exists, but they are usually pretty thick, atleast as long as the studs, and will throw your offset waaaay off. Just try to sell them and find a set with the proper bolt pattern for your car. It's less of a headache.

do NOT, I repeat do NOT use adapters.....if you do....you are just asking for trouble...
if you REALLY want those wheels....do this right....and convert your car to 5 lug by swapping out the discs.

Thanks for the advice guys... All around i think this is a bad idea, first of all they are hard to find, second, they are 80 bucks each, third, i've heard some horror stories of them snapping and sending your car flying across the road... pretty scary stuff... i'll just sell them and buy some 4 lug....
