    That pattern works perfectly with RX-7s...I love that type.

    They're a BITCH to clean though.

    Actually...not so much with those, since the gaps are large.

    yeah i have. but why would you put the unnecessary stress on the hubs? Just like spacers, why buy a wheel that needs them when you can get something that actually fits or is meant for the car

    And I forgot to ask.... what are the sizes and offset?

    The use of spacers in racing is not to just get wheels to fit correctly though. They actually test and tune with and without spacers to get the balance of the cornering perfected. Where as in my example, spacers (and in this case adapters) are used by the general public because of their own damn lazyness.

    I was going to ask if they're staggered.

    Either way, they'll still look badass.
