Customer wants as close to this wheel as possible.

The picture is of a 5x100 18" wheel.
Has anyone on here actually done a 5-lug conversion?

What would be a choice that would get him as close to this as possible?

(Note: NOT looking for like it/don't like it comments, thank you in advance)

Those Niche Gefell's I had would look similar and came in 4x100 (and chrome), expensive and rare though.

As far as 5 lug conversions - I haven't seen any yet. You could have wheel adapters (spacers) made that are 4x100 -> 5x100, but then the problem lies with fitment since they will be around 3/4" to 1" thick minimum.

Here are a few 4x100 options with a "similar" look, I know none are exact.

Konig Maxxim's.

Maybe try Sport Edition, Prime, as they both sell chrome imitation luxury wheels.

How about using that actual wheel and just using a 4x100 to 5x100 adapter?

Is the customer intending to mount on a Yaris, or something else? Thinking that if it happens to be an xB, they already have so much wheel tuck, that lug adapters would probably fit nicely.

Yes, it's for a Yaris AND he's considering 18" wheels. My thought was that the adaptor would push the wheel out too far for that to work.

Thanks for all the help guys, I am passing on the pics to the guy.

Can get the wheel in an offset that is 20mm less to compensate for the 20mm adapter.
