Wheels for my car

I'm thinking of buying some Sport Edition Fox 2 wheels and some matching tires for my car. The wheels are pictured here: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...Silver+Painted

I have a question though...the wheels themselves are a 5 lug design, and the 99 Protege's have a 4-lug hub. Are there adapters of some kind that would allow me to fit the 5 lug wheels into my car or would some serious modification have to be done?

Also, before anyone asks, yes, I did photoshop these wheels for my sig below, it just looked too lame with the hubcaps.

ummmmm what size do you want? I'm guessing 16's b/c that's all they are offering under a 3rd gen profile. If I were you, I would check out some other places to buy some wheels. I purchased my wheels off of www.tires.com but that was before I knew better. I wish I could go back and make another choice b/c there are packages out there you can buy that will give you "bigger" wheels and more styles.

Check out: www.wheelmax.com
www.whalentire.com

Let me know what u find!

don't buy adapters.....its a weak link.....if you want to do it RIGHT....get blank hubs...and have the correct bolt pattern put in them by a reputable machine shop.....

They sell those in a 4 lug patern for you. The picture is just a 5 lug. When you select your model and year it brings up the wheels that they offer that will bolt up. Call and talk to a rep. if you're unsure.

Or just ask me. hehe.

We have wholesale account setup with tirerack, but it may turnout to be cheaper to get from them anyways. Just all depends. But there's other options too in that style.
