Hi Kevin,

Totally agree. If ERA was assembling my car, I wouldn't have been aware of these issues - and would have gone with the 5-pin wheels because I was informed the same as you. To Peter's credit, as he got to know me, he recognized that I might regret not having the 6-pin set-up in the future and he also recognized that it will be me, not Doug cussing at the wheels if there were indeed fitment problems because I'll be assembling it myself. So, he brought it to my attention. ERAChas and others make some good points and I'll have to make my own decision on this. My car is at the painters for another 4 weeks, so I have some time to decide. Peter initially recommended the 5-pin set-up but changed his recommendation based on what he now knows about me. So, no condemnation on either set-up.

Regards,

Kevin
