www.importautosalvage.com

just thought i'd share this with ya....got the SH rims...put up a pic this weekend after i paint the calipers and put everything together....

so this whole conversion is gonna cost me $1000 canadian that's with the sh rims that i paid $350cad for.

just letting you guys know, it's a very affordable mod, and one you should be very happy with...now that you can put so many more styles of rims on...have fun

what are the advantages of 5 lug in comparison to 4 lug?

edit: besides being able to put a few different types of rims on your car

cifer6425 · 03-25-2004, 01:24 AM

the coolness factor.

250 for all of that?! holy sheets batman. i have been getting pricing from people and the cheapest i have found was 450 plus shipping. looks like i need to get in touch with importautosalvage. can i mentioned your name?

do you remember who you talked to over there?

yeah that's a pretty good price.

I got front and rear knuckles, Base rims with tires for $400 including shipping.. I lucked out as well.

4bidden · 03-25-2004, 03:08 AM

A guy local is tryin to sell base rims for really cheap. $75 for one set and like $200 for the other. I was thinking of picking them up for possibly use in the future....but just have too many others things to put that $75 towards right now.

Are you guys all really just doing this for a larger rim selection?

prelude styl · 03-25-2004, 04:24 AM

wait wait... $75 for 2 or 4?? Ah hell.. regardless, I want that $75 set. I need a set of drag rims. Maybe I could send you the money and I could get them from you at LFW?

yohan420 · 03-25-2004, 11:32 AM

If I do it its because I like the 5gen rims and think they look sick on the 4gen ... it's about the same price for a set of aftermarket rims for our cars... and its 16" so still a comfy ride ..

mostly, its because we are being irresponsible with our money and not putting it towards a house .. or student loans .. or jewelry for our girlfriends ... or clothes ... but its much more satisfying in the short term to look at our cars after completing a project and sayin "kew .. i did that " .. and all the props from prelude sites when posting photo's after we're done

cifer6425 · 03-25-2004, 06:27 PM

i was thinking about this today, is not another advantage the brake up grade? if you have a S or Si and you do the 5 lug swap, you are also upgrading to better brakes as well. correct?

Prelude_2_NV · 03-25-2004, 06:35 PM

That was my reason to do the swap for my old brakes have worn out.

Satan_SRV · 03-25-2004, 07:38 PM

I did it because I was bored...I needed new pads/rotors and rubber anyway and the whole deal with rims and rubber cost $400

yohan420 · 03-25-2004, 07:48 PM

damn satan .. find another deal like that and hook me up ... it'll be hell to find that deal and ship to Can. from US

4thGenReady2Go · 03-25-2004, 08:43 PM

I might be wrong, but with the conversion you can also install big brake kits that aren't available for 4th gens, but are for 5th gens, such as AEM, Rotora etc.

Grant · 03-25-2004, 09:42 PM

I have AEM big brakes on my 4th gen

4thGenReady2Go · 03-25-2004, 09:52 PM

calipers too?

I like the part about not buying girlfriends jewelery, and stuff... Basically, I like it b/c your car won't cheat on you, and, for the most part, won't let you down as much as a girl could/would.

Upgrade is possible without going to the 5 lug setup.

4thGenReady2Go · 03-26-2004, 07:22 PM

yeah, but what about those big brake kits which include bigger calipers, they most for the prelude are offered for the 5th gen only, what's the difference that makes is applicable only for the 5th gens?

I edited your picture so that it would show up. For future reference remove the orig.jpg from the address if it is from Imagestation and the picture will show up.

SLICK96 · 03-27-2004, 10:30 PM
