A couple of members here have run Mustang wheels on the 5X115 hub. You just need to carefully torque them in increments and they will work perfectly fine.

If mustang's wheels are good on bonneville's hub we can use any 5x114,3 wheels (mostly from japan tuning companies) such as rota, rays even momo...am I wright?

Haha, no, it's not all *shoot*. I am just teasing. I listen to just about everything. System of a down is currently playing, but my list varies greatly. Even some sprinkles of country music.

Stay away from that crap Pop Country junk. I dig classic country and I'm getting into American Folk music more and more recently. I enjoy music that tells a story.

yah))) in Russia we have "avtovaz", "uazavto" and "gaz" - full :-& :-& :-&
We also have KAMAZ (Dacar winner) - nice trucks
In middle and big cities people mostly prefer german, korean and japan cars in country - only Russian, because of spare parts defficite. American cars are rare and mostly represented by tahoe,escalade.trailblazer and camaro.
