Crappy 6 Bolt Lug Pattern....

  I'm about to order a new Sport after giving up on an R/T, but I can't
seem to locate any nice wheels for it, so I got to thinking...

Wheel adapters - anyone tried them? I've seen good quality steel
adapters for around $300+. If using adapters, wouldn't you have hell
doing a brake job? I think the adapter would have to bolt to the hub,
necessitating removal of the hub completely to access the calipers.

                --- OR ---

How about having a reputable shop redrill the stock front hubs, rear
axles & drums for 5 on 5 pattern, like the full-size GM trucks - then
virtually any wheel would fit, making wheel selection much easier.

  Riddle me this - why do full size Rams still have the 5 lug wheels,
while we're stuck with a pattern that seems to make wheel hunting
impossible?

  Anyway, just a passing thought on a weird situation.
