I would say both sides of this arguement have merit. It was a nightmare trying to find decent wheels for S13's and non SE/LE S14's for the longest time, 4x114.3 with odd offsets. People were paying an arm and a leg for OEM parts to do 5 lug swaps. Within the last couple of years, manufacturers saw the popularity of hte platform, and started making wheels available for 4 lug cars that previously were not. 5Zigen made wheels specifically designed around the S chassis. Not to mention aftermarket hubs to do 5 lug conversions. All it will take is a few requests from owners
directly to the manufacturers requesting this stuff and it will happen. Until we as enthusiasts make it clear that there is a market for this stuff though, it won't be provided.
So either write Ichiba and tell them you want a 5x114.3 conversion kit, or start hitting up your favorite wheel manufacturers and let them know what you're looking for. it's not hard for them to take a wheel blank and drill it in the pattern you want. They all go through the same machining process, the tool and die sets are already in place for 5x100, we just have to show them the demand is there.
