Re: [T3] 4 to 5 Lug wheel adapters

<x-flowed>Robbie,
I bought some 5 lug 5-spoke empis look-a-likes and bought the adapters 
($100) only to realize the 5 spokes weren't offset for the width of my 
fastback's front end. They stuck out about 1.5 inches outside my wheels 
wells and looked terrible. I ended up selling them because to bring them 
in would require some very expensive custom modifications, that to me 
just wasn't worth it. So be sure the offset on the wheel is what you 
want before you try your hand at some of the 5 lugs wheels. Just an FYI.
As to how well the adapters work or whether or not they're safe, I 
didn't get to use them so i don't know.
