Default 5 lug conversion - how to?

are there any sites that show what exactly is needed for an itr 5 lug conversion, and how it is done? i found a good price on the conversion w/ gunmetal rims so i just want to make sure the guy has everything that i need to do it.

i know everyone thinks it is a waste of money so dont bother telling me...

actually if you can tell me about better gunmetal rims (no fakes) that come in 15 or 16in sizes then post a pic or a link, keep in mind i dont want superlight weight rims that are gonna get f'd up when i hit a pothole.

thanks

Most superlight rims are 1 piece forged and very strong.

ive seen lots of pictures and stories of people getting superlight rims and getting them bent on potholes. they were one peice forged, such as ssr competitions. i really like those rims (to bad they are 5 lug) but i dont think they were built for the street.

O.Z. Superleggera


15x7" is 11 lbs, $200 a piece from tirerack.com; they're beefier than the superlight wheels like the SSR Comp which are about 9 lbs in the same size.

5Zigen G6 (a.k.a. Fire 5Zigen)

15x7" $145 a piece in "hyper black" from autoimaging.com
