Check this out!!
So i bought the SRI-t rimz off Nuggz. Man everything went sweet and finally my rims get delivered this morning. The first thing i did was to give it a good clean. They were ready to go on the car when i noticed that i have a 4 stud:yikes::yikes::yikes:!! WTF!!! I was so eager to get them rims that i did not even take the time to check my own wheels!!:blush::blush:!! I just assumed i had a 5 stud!! Is this the end of the road for me or is there a light at the end of the tunnel???

you can do a 5 stud conversion, check them out on AON, it has been done before.
Means you can put 308s on the front too;)
But nothing can be done without costing you a bit more.

How ironic, they just came up from Vic! Just checking the feasibility option whether to upgrade to 5 stud or flog them and get me something else! Will keep you posted.

It is relatively easy to find decent looking 4 stud wheels that aren't extremely expensive... I guess it all comes down to whether or not the conversion to 5 stud is too expensive/difficult to be justifiable...

good luck mate

Yeah I have seen a few but really like this rim. Going to check out some wreckers in the morning. With my luck being up here in Townsville and with an accent, they will probably want to charge me an arm and a leg....haha!!

Went to some wreckers and they say i am looking at in excess of $500-600 to get the hub upgrade done. Due to this fact i just wanna flog my car and get me the SRI-T now. Not sure how the whole finance would work as my car is currently still under finance and i have it only for 6 months.
The other option would be too sell the rims off and try and recoup what i have spent on them thus far.
I will be hitting the piss hard tonight..........
