I've been casually browsing FB MP at night, kinda curious what wheels are out there. The RPF-1s that came with the car (it had Sparco's before but he sold them) just aren't doing it for me. I keep seeing wheels I like but they are almost always 5x114 pattern.
These adapters popped up last night, tonight I saw a few others. I think they are various thicknesses. I'm just curious about their ability to change the bolt pattern. Worth it? Run away?

It works, I've run adaptors for years on various cars. Oddly my favorite wheels only came in 4/5x100 so I am always adapting them to 5x112/114.

For $50 or so and fairly local, I'm willing to give them a try.
There are TONs of 5x100 wheels available. But I'm guessing you are trying to avoid buying new or reps?

New, yes. But I'm exploring MP for specific examples first. Sparco Terra, stuff that looks like STI BBS wheels, maybe someone with snows that sold the car they went to. If I go new, I'll just go Tirerack.
I ran adaptors like that on my Quantum for many years.
Just mind that they will affect the total offset. Those ones will remove 15mm of offset from a wheel - +40mm will now be +25mm for example.
