help a customer find a wheel

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.



Enkei Shogun's in chrome.



Falken Hanabe's in chrome..




GSR Blades



Miata wheels




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.
