1. Bigger brakes.
2. Baller

Trust me, there is much less of a selection when it comes to wheels. Especially in the used market.

its been debated about 50 billion times, do a ******* search next time.

5-lug = bigger brakes and a ton of bling.

5 lug will give you bigger brakes. Bigger isn't always better in the case of brakes. In fact, some big brake kits increase your stoping distance. Also add the fact these lower torque monster hondas can better without an increase in rotational mass that bigger brakes bring into the equation.

your better of getting a good set of OEM Brembo rotors, calipers, ss brake lines and better brake fluid.
