**UPDATE**
Unfortunately we are having to put this project on hold. Weld's forging for the RT-S does not accomodate the offset needed to clear the brakes and still keep the wheel tucked inside the fender. After much trial and error, we have determined that the fitment cannot be done, and for a Weld to work we will have to re-design an entirely new wheel with their billet line. The issue there is an additional $150-250 per wheel over the RT-S price. We are currently looking to see if anyone would be interested in doing this setup, but with the additional cost added, we feel that most will just do the 5-lug conversion and run a standard RT-S.
Any feedback is much appreciated, and we appreciate everyone's input and enthusiasm through this process. Please feel free to PM me or e-mail directly at david@vengeanceracing.net if you have any specific questions. Thank you!

David for what it cost to do 5 lug swap about 1600 plus still having to buy the 5 lug rts wheels might as well get custom made 6 lug wheels from fikse or something. The 5 lug swap aint cheap. Plus some of us are running xtracker hubs which are supperior to the stock or 5 lug swap hubs no point in going backwards

all you need is four hubs (C5) and four rotors (gen5 camaro front, V2 rear). there's no way that costs $1600 on any planet.
