    My Custom Conversion Adapters 5x100 to 5x114.3 on 2011 Gen3

    I thought I share my new custom conversion adapters I had made up…

    5x100 to fit 5x114.3 specs with 19mm spacing on all 4 corners…

    I just slapped on some new NOS (new old shcool) wheels. They have been sitting in a warehouse for about 12 years all boxed up brand spankin new…

    Wheels are JOUSTMEISTERS FORGED BRONZE 5x114.3 17x7 +40 & ONLY WEIGH 12.8lbs

    The rims are sweet, looks a lot like the old school Rays Engineering forged wheels. Those adapters must be pretty hefty though, at least they are unsprung weight, and close to the center of rotating mass. Just need to be mindful of camber settings.

    Yes, I would agree they are a little hefty… But, I was surprised that I gained another 4/6 mpg after running around for a good 100+ miles of errands this weekend… Tires aren't even broken in yet… I really didn't expect that.

    You know, those adapters would probably work so that you could run other Lexus wheels like those from the IS F. ;)

    Looks good!

    They don't look very bronze for bronze rims but they look great!

    Looks like you need to find some center caps. ;)

    Yup, one of the main reasons I got these custom made is so I could easy flop around with all the more available wheels out there. Especially, those IS F. it's in the works...

    Unfortunately no caps. I'm having some custom machined... They made them without center caps... Yup, pretty lame

    They actually don't look bad without the center caps. I'd leave them as is.

    Motorsport-Tech out of Nevada... Check their website out. Very good quality...

    I just ordered a 2nd set yesterday. 2 of each 20mm & 23mm 5x100 to 5x114.3. It was just $265. Going to run new wheels..

    Ask for Jr. or Mark.... They're all good there but, these were the 2 that took care of me...

    Are you lowered? Did you notice any rubbing with the 19mm adapters?
