hey, i bid on the rims that i posted about but the guy email me this:

Kevin, there are couple more things I would need you to help me
check... I want to make positively sure that these will fit your car.

1. Can you make sure that your car is 4 x 4.5 or is 5 x 4.5... Since
they do make both for 2001 models.

2. You would need to take your wheels off and check to see if there's
a bolt on the rotor... basically that bolt is screwed on to hold the
rotor in place. If that's the case, we might have a problem.


is the 4 x 4.5 and 5. 4.5 just the number of bolts i can see on the outside which is four?
and i thought that #2 was a captive rotor problem that didnt matter with the rd2

thanks
