old school 5 stud rims [tech now. RA23 brake convos] Sun, 20 November 2005 09:46 Go to previous message
Howdy. This is mostly general but sorta techy, so I stuck it here. Mods, feel free to shift it if I'm wrong.

The time has come to plan my brake upgrades on the RA23. I've decided to use FC RX7 calipers due to their small size, low weight and low cost. The difficulty comes with the choice in hubs and rotors. I like longchamp xr4 rims, but I've only ever encountered then in 4x114.3 PCD. After scouring brembo and DBA catalogues, I know of no possible way to retain the stock RA23 hubs and have rotors of a decent size. Unless I have missed something, there is no toyota hub with four studs that will do the job I want, so it seems that I've gotta convert to 5 stud with crown hubs, or go for custom hubs($$$).

Does anyone know if it is possible to get longchamp xr4's made in 5 stud patterns? Failing this, what are some old school 15" rims on the market with 5 stud patterns? I don't really wanna go for simmons rims, 'cos they are kinda cliched.
