I would not disagree with that. The offset is what makes our cars stand out. Or the wheels stand in.

5x114.3 is not too uncommon as you say, but over here the aftermarket wheel industry is geared for tarting up smaller cars, so the replacement wheel industry commonly carriers lug patterns to suit Toyota Starlets and Peugeot 206s and all sorts of rubbish.

This can mean with a 5 stud wheel that the only way you can get it is with dual lug pattern, 10 holes, so it suits more vehicles. On principle alone I would not fit such a wheel to my car. It looks naff. It looks aftermarket. Not for me thank you.
