if you wanted to be gung ho about balancing the hubs you can just drill a hole 180degrees away from each of the THREE leftover open holes from the old 4 lug pattern.
180 degrees from each unused hole is already a hole. the 4 and 5 lug patterns are in balance, the only problem is that the one that lines up with both is counted twice. you'd have to drill two smaller holes on either side of the double hole. but as you said, it really doesn't matter because of the minimal weight and small distance from the axis of rotation.

$250 / set..... cheap enough considering they include new OEM bearings.
where'd you find the $250 or was that a type-o???

theres alot of jibba jabba here. i didnt read hardly anything to be honest.

i did notice though that the op said he was wanting a bmw->honda bolt pattern

e30cabrio, heres something you might find neat if you dont want to drill your hubs, (drilling hubs is perfectly ok by the way)

I'm going to be trying this on some spare 4 lug hubs soon. We'll see how it goes. I'm using a 5 lug rotor to know where to drill.

I haven't searched yet, but will an s14 se rotor be hubcentric on an s13 4 lug hub? I'll search now, but if anybody knows off the top of their head, that's cool too.

The saving grace is that the studs are close to the axis of rotation. So any imbalance would not be as great.

Wheel imbalance would affect rotational inertia more due to the wheel's distance from the axis of rotation.


I would venture to guess that most S-chassis owners don't care about wheel balancing because tread depth is so inconsistent due to drifting/trying to drift.
