3 to 5 lug adapters

Has anyone found where they can order these adapters here in the US? I would like to order a set up just so I can test fitments of all sorts of wheels to the smart.

Consider 4x100 adapters also. Mind blowing selection of wheels.

What! how do you assume that will work.

The only reason the 5 stud convertors work is because they have the same PCD and share one of the holes. You could probably jsut about get away with a 4x112.5mm but of course, that is no help at all.

If you want 3 to 5 convertors.

but you had better know exactly what you want, PCD, bore, bolt type, thickness of the adapter etc.

Yes you are right, I did not think about the spacing and assumed the 4x100 where also a option.

Sorry, but no. I'm sure there will be plenty of companies making them in the future. I'm concentrating on making appearance products for the Smart.
