CL swap out for 5 lug?
#16
You need Hubs, Wheel carrier, rotors and possibly new bearings. You need to include the price of 5 lug wheel set.
Mine ended up in the region of 10K: Parts are 2.5K + 5K for TE37 wheels + 1.5K for new tires + miscellaneous stuff (spacers/shipping/longer bolts).
my parts & wheels are being returned for refund as we speak.

Hey man, I was about to do the conversion this week. Parts would cost you around 2500$:

Well, if it can actually be done, and if the cost is only 2g, not to be flippant but that's trivial. If the car cost 140-150k, and the new wheels are 6-9k for HRE or similar forged offerings, and that's what a person wants, what's another 2gs? Granted, taking 7,000-dollar wheels up to 9000 makes for an expensive wheel set, but in the grand scheme of things...

Mdkrp, can you post a pic of current wheels? Hard to see in small avatar pic.
Maybe?:
1) do a polished rim in silver, leave rest black
2) do a sapphire blue ( I think that's your color) accent or red, rim accent, like the new 991.2 GT3 wheels

Thanks! Totally changed my outlook on life. Okay, maybe not that drastic. But I went from always having a little twinge of disappointment with how the car looked (unless it had bright sun streaming in from the side so the wheels were well lit) to loving it under every circumstance. Even when the wheels are dirty, which is a lot of the time.
I liked them in black just fine when they looked like this:
But most of the time it was more like this, and they sort of disappeared in the dark wheelwells:

I will probably have them plasti-dipped in GT silver and if like it then will have them polished and just keep the center locks.
