Need opinion. Suspension and rim related and not newbie question.
Alright guys, i have a chance to get a deal on the ever so popular 5 lug conversion + gunmetal type r rims. The problem is, I have always wanted to run the fastbrakes 4 piston caliper big brake kit with the big rear kit. Another problem is I hate the fact that the usdm itr rims are only 15". I think 16" is the ideal size and really don't wanna shell out that kinda cash for the jdm wheels. I'm really stumped on what i should do. If it matters my suspension is done and i am rolling on 17" Konig tantrums. Not the taste of many on this board but they match my car well and i like them. So what should i do?
A) Sport the 5 lug like everyone else.
B) Get the Fastbrakes front and rear big brake kitsetup.
Oh yeah i would be running the 11.4" fastbrake front kit with crossdrilled rotors all around.

Buy my 5 lug 16" Volk TE37's..lighter than your 17's, look good, and fit the set-up. Oh, and the brakes would fit.
