Re: Wheel and spring suggestions?

Not sure yet if I'm ready to spend the money for the 5 lug at this point. If I stay with the 4 what do you think about these with a change of the center cap?

I wouldn't spend the money on 4 lug wheels then do a 5 lug swap later and have to buy wheels twice if it were me.

I was thinking the same thing about having to purchase wheels twice, but at the same time I've been considering other options that would be open if I held off on the 5 lug conversion for now.

Unless you could find a set of used wheels that you could buy and use for a while, then resell for about the same thing you paid for them.

Well...only thing about that is I need tires NOW. I'm already slipping and sliding all over the road even if it looks like it's going to rain. I hate to buy tires and then turn around and purchase them again when I replace the wheels.

Guess I can always wait on lowering the car an opt to go with the 5 lug conversion now - probably be a better choice in the long run.
