alright mate i got a 1.8HLX bravo too and had it 8months lol my 1st car also at 17.

I was going for adsacly the same look as for the deep dish i was after some BORBET T's sexy dish......But most of the dished wheels out there are 5stud for audi's BMW's and VW's

couldn't tell you about the converter as i didn't know it was possible...instead now ive gone for the really look...well ish

Hello and welcome :) Looks like you have a good car there :D Please check out the Classifieds section in the bar at the top for any bits and bobs, if someone has something, it will be there. Looking forward to seeing the results :) Happy hunting!

You'll also find it easier, especially in the technical sections such as this, if you stay off the text talk. If you struggle with spelling there's a spellchecker to the right hand side of the reply box (y)

stud adapters do work, but you need to be careful when buying wheels because the required offset will change due to the adapter making the wheel sit further away from the car. you dont want the arch to rub. most adapters will tell you the difference it makes to offset, or you can measure the thickness of the adapter plate
 
Not quite sure if the RS8 wheels are warming to me on a bravo. Maybe's its because ive never seen such wheels on a bravo.....but good like with what ever you do....
 
why not just get a set of wheels that look like those instead of all the hassle with the convertor :) the toora t940 are like those but not as many spokes and look a bit nicer imo
