adapter wheel- What did you use cut the splines?

The crazy wheel that came on the car had a hub adapter already on the car. I just unbolted the old wheel, measured the bolt pattern, and made a adapter to fit the two patterns together. Does that make sense?  

Btw if you were wondering, the old wheel is a fourmuling

AH. I see. I can't get myself to buy a hub adapter.

I guess I looked in the wrong place! I saw 150+ when I looked.

Saw this at the LS show! Loved the car and darn clean - but the offsets bug me. Looking forward to seeing it at its new ride height!

The offset on the rear wheels bugs me too, kinda hard to fit 17x10's on an E30 and pull it off. I hope all this suspension nonsense solves the Mexican poke out back.

Here you can see the Mexican stance out back a little better...
