I think I might have cost myself some money. I bought a set of gsl-se rims on ebay and had them re-done but now they won't mount. Did I just throw money down a hole or is there some way to get these to fit?

I read on wikipedia that the GSLSE came with lug nuts & a 4x114.3 lug nut pattern rather than the GSL that came with bolts & a 4x110 lug nut pattern.

Hope this info was of some help.Its gonna take alot of money to make those rims fit your car!

Just save up and track down a GSL-SE suspension set up. They tend to go for a couple hundred though...

I my self am in a similar situation. I have some wheels that are se pattern and i wont them on a non se.

Take all the rotors off buy some aftermarket performance wheel studs and nuts. drill the se pattern on your non se rotors weld the studs. Good to go just make sure its centered.

I was browsing the classifieds and the member canito rotary is selling a set of adapters to convert 4x110 to SE pattern. Seems like a good buy to me I wish i had the cash

I think I found an outfit in CA that will make a custom set of adapters for me. I should be receiving a single adapter to try anyday now. They are about $40 a piece but what the hell it's only money.
