Unclejake Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Can't you buy a 14x7 Hotwire in four stud brand new? Performance Wheels used to do them and they have an agent in Wellington now (Dominic41 on Trademe I think). Dunno if they still make them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Do you have your heart set on hotwires? Because there are plenty of sweet options in 4x114.3 in 14x7+ wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are plenty of sweet options in 4x114.3 in 14x7+ wheels. i like the hotwire look on the car being deepdish in the rear and all. iv being looking through tardme and havent really found anything that i liked want to keep it looking old school.Iv got OZ racing wheels on it at the moment so i can drive it but there to new school for the car sorta thing. I would even like go try some ROH Blak Trak but there only 6 stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 you're changing your stud pattern just to suit a set of mediocre looking wheels? there are other "oldschool" wheels out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 why not run conversion spacers? it will cost you far less than a p.c.d conversion, i do understand you liking the wheel as it looks period for the ex but really hotwires aren't a japanese origin wheel and maybe a ssr or watanabe would be more fitting. chuck a pic of your car in the photoshops section maybe a kind soul can smash the options out there together for you electronically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Only bolt in option I think would be 5 stud Starion struts. I dont like your chances in finding a pair tho. You could try and fiddle with later model front hubs (FWD Mitsi, RWD Nissan, I dunno) that way you could run "off the shelf" coil overs. But steering geometry must be kept in mind. Just run adaptors for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
