I purchased the 5-lug conversion package from PMB Performance. $772.40 includes everything you'll need including bearings and seals. It was a beautiful job. I had the hubs installed last week. Car rides "round" and smooth with 5 lug wheels.

From reading this thread and the technical article, seems that the easiest and least expensive way is to just get the stock rotors/hubs drilled to take 5x130 studs (14x1.5mm?). Understood whenever new rotors are needed they'll have to be drilled again with new studs, but at the rate I'd drive this car, that could take 10 years! Are 14x1.5mm wheel studs fairly common, or in the realm of unobtainium like other things for 914s?
