how difficult is it, and what is needed to change a '96 VTEC 4 bolt rotor/wheel to the current 5 bolt?

thanks

Conversions are expensive. I know for Integras, it is over 1K for all the parts. My friend wanted to put Type R rims on his Teg, and he decided not to do it

I found a link for the Integra conversion

Well, I don't know who has actually tried the conversion, i was going to but the suspension is very expensive to find. But this is what i think you'll need:

97-01 Prelude Suspension:

Front Spindle, rotor, caliper, lower arm, upper arm, etc.
Rear Spindle, rotor, calipers, trailing arm, brake lines, etc.

Literally all the suspension and brake components less the struts.

I found prices from 1000 on up for the full conversion.

Why would you get all that stuff??

All the suspension components are the same except for the rotor/hub...

Same calipers, pads, arms etc...

Yeah you don't need all that. You could probably just swap the hubs but you have to think about the other parts like rotors, wheels, I think you might need some new driveshafts too since the 4th and 5th gen ones are different. There was a thread about this not long ago.

More wheels available in 5 bolt configurations. 5 bolt's are stronger than 4 bolts.
