Pops has a 1994 Dodge B250 conversion van. I'm looking to change out some warpy brake rotors. Van clearly is wearing 6-lug wheels. RockAuto and other sites are listing 5-lug rotors. How do I buy the correct dang rotors?
Oh, and mods: Please correct my typo in the title. Should read "This 'is' fun". Or leave it like it is and make me look like a knuckle-dragging moron. Honestly, I don't care.

fixored... the title, at least. no idea about the rotors.
Check the B-350 listing?
Maybe the van is wearing the wrong badges.
In reply to ShawnG :
Those are 8-lug. Rumours persist that it may be a Dakota thing....
Are these Dakota wheels? Anybody got experience pulling almost-30-years-in-place-rust-belt brake rotors that have never been off the truck? How much of a biznatch is this going to be?

Thank you, kind sir. You are both a gentleman and a scholar, and a heckuva nice guy to boot!
Pop the caps off, those wheels are five lug but have Dakota caps....or so it looks to me.

Just a long shot here...That is a plastic cap over the lugs. Are there really 6 lugs under the cap? Possibly just a decorative caps? I ask this because you said conversion van so they might have been going for some "beauty" with different pieces than stock.
Edit: Chandler beat me to the same thought.
In reply to chandler :
I was going to say.. are you sure the lug count matches the cap?
Edit: tree'd! :P
Well, I'll be...
Credit to you guys for thinking outside the box. I never even considered the possibility. Upon popping off the hubcap, a grand total of FIVE lugs are showing.
Thanks, guys!

Might as well change the title back. Turns out I am a knuckle-dragging moron! 
I had one of those wheels as a spare on a van so I knew they were 5 lug (and didn't think there was a six lug version). There is a similar six lug version from early Durango's but not the same

Hey, how did you get that picture of me in my house???!
So for the rotors. Spray them down as good as you can, preferably several times, with your penetrating fluid of choice, then start beating. Block of wood or a stub of 2x4 will help spread the hit. Top and bottom a few times, side to side a few times.
If it's still stuck, you can try wedging a bottle jack between anywhere that won't move and the rotor and pump it open.
If that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer and start over.
