Default Centerbolt wheel conversion?

Has anyone out there done a centerbolt wheel conversion (possibly for a 1st-gen F-body?)?

If so, what all did it entail?

Thanks!

Its a cost issue. Plain and simple.

The hubs, if done correctly will run about $650.00 each... so there is $2600 and you havent even gotten to the wheels yet. The wheel cost isnt going to be much different from a five lug... so that isnt really a worry... its finding a wheel company that does center locks for under $1200.00 each.

There is something out there, just not yet

I got my centerlocks from Jim Fikse. I believe they where about 3500

Oh.. you are also going to need a torque mulitplier wrench and a big socket with extension. 450 ft lbs
