18542, rims - 5 lug vs 10 lug universal
Posted by MCubed45, Jun-22-03 03:44 AM
is there any way to get a 5 lug version of a rim instead of then 10 lug universal? like there seems to always be pics of a 5 lug pattern rim on sites an stuff but when you order they've only got 10 lug universal. i think it looks soo much cleaner when you've got only the 5 holes you need instead of 5 extra... unless there's an easy way to fill 'em or something.. just wondering

yes i know that. i've just noticed that most rims come as either 8 or 10 lug universal. like you rarely see the option of purchasing a rims specifically as 5x114.3 (or whatever). i know it's cheaper for them to make them like that (8 or 10) but was just wondering whether they actually still make them as 5 lugs and it's jsut harder to find or something.
