Default How do you guys mount after market rims?

as i took off my OEM rim i noticed that the thread is an "in-y", how do you mount some after market rims on there if the rims are set up for the honda but same bolt pattern?
The lug nuts are oposite, if anyone knows where i can get the right lugs that would help too...

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but you can get stud conversion kits to have regular studs and then you would use lugnuts instead of lugbolts. As far as the pattern, I'm not 100% sure, but I know the B6's are 5x112mm.

B5's have the same bolt pattern. 5x112. I used to have the stock wheels off of the B7 A4 on my B5 before I cracked it.

In that case you will need to find a set of lugbolts with a rounded bezel or do a stud conversion.

call the company that makes the wheels, tell them what application you are putting them on and ask if they have the right lug bolts. if they don't, they would probably know where to get them. i use different lugbolts for my winter wheels than my r7's
