I know Hxr makes adapters to go from 4x100 bolt patern to 5x130. I am curious if this can be done on a Mini to mount Porsche wheels?

Thanks

Can you supply a link for these supposed H&R converters? Their website mentions nothing of the sort

The new Sport Spacers are in their new catalog and YES, it will open a whole new can of worms for some GREAT 5-lug wheels - especially BMW wheels.

Hey Peter,

I have heard alot of bad things about wheel adapters on this forum, but I checked out h&r's site, along with an extensive search on the web, and everyone seems to really like them, and no one really mentions any problems. I was wondering if you had any experience in these, and if h&r gives any type of warranty or garuntee about the saftey/build quality. Any help would be great. Here is a pic of what I would like to do if I could get an adapter.

Other than more wheel options, is there a reason you want 5 holes instead of 4?

allessio makes a wheel that looks very similar to the m3 wheel. It is a 17x7.5, check the member gallery, the owner of that car gives a phone number of someone ot contact for the wheels.
