Michael,
Firstly I would like
to thank you for the great work and time you have spent putting together
such an informative site for all us
850 nuts! I am an ex-pat Aussie
living in Japan at the moment working as a translator/interpreter for Honda
and drive two
850's, 1994 GLE for the wife, and my new
pet project a 1993 GLT....to wit I came across some info that may be useful
to
someone.
While being thoroughly
depressed that I couldn't swap the Volans off my wife's 1994 to the 1993
because of the stud count, I
managed to track down a company here in
Japan that can make PCD adaptors for the car. Essentially a spacer,
with a new stud
pattern, to wit my 4 holes 108mm hubs
have been upgraded to 5 hole 114.3 (Japanese Standard size) for $400 a
set, which
gives a huge variety of much cheaper mags
to choose from for the 850. A 5 hole 108mm can also be made up to 5 hole
114.3,
both in thicknesses from 15mm~35mm.
The maker unfortunately only speaks Japanese so if anyone would like these
made they
should get in contact with me @ ozsamurai@hotmail.com
This isn't a business for me, if they speak Japanese then the makers
address is available too. Thought
it might be useful for the page is all.....I run a similar site as your
for the Honda Beat and am
shipping parts all over the world for
that on a regular basis.
Cheers
The OzSamurai
