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.

Not in USA but these folks seem to know what they are all about for a lot of things no on site ordering but drop them a e-mail and they answer fairly fast

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.
