I'M UNDECIDED IF I SHOULD CHANGE BOLT PATTERNS, THE RIMS I LIKE ARE ALL 5. IM WORKIN WITH 4 LUG.

 

And you want us to make the decision for you? If you think going through all the effort of changing your hubs is worth it to get the rims you like....then do it, if not....don`t do it.

 

Why are you considering changing bolt patterns?

BTW, there's a function on your keyboard you should become familiar with:

 

i will say this as i was 5 lug now 4 front 5 rear, you are limmited in wheel size if you drag race. he hee. had fun with my 15"s but now need 13"s.

 

4 lug is less weight haha, and WRC cars use 4 lug... umm yea

 

4 lug. Yes there is a slighter weight, but more importantly, most wheels between 14 and 18" come in both 4 or 5 lug. 4 lug gives you more options for brake setups too.

Changing hubs and/or suspension components is just a hassle and extra cost and possibly braking stuff that didn't need to be fucked with in the first place.

300$ for calipers, 100$ for rotors, 40$ for pads. Stock Civic EX front suspension.


Type-R 5 bolt suspensions go for about 1200$ for all 4 corners. Any questions?

 

sound cool i like tat mind if i steal tat combo? but my future plans is awd on the car, i wanted 18 in rims

Out of curiousity how big of a wheel do you need to clear those NSX calipers?

 

I'm sorry did you just call my wheels hideous? No way, there are hundreds of ugly wheels on here, mine are fine. There an aluminum 7 spoke with a machined, polished lip, whats wrong with em? There awesome lookin. If ya wanna see an ugly wheel, check out those Mugen NR-10s or whatever that look like 80s hubcaps, then i think youll see my wheels are at least ok.

Those are 16s, thats about the optimal size for an EK, giving you a low profile tire but not thin *** rubberbands. I had them, ther uncomfortable. I'll be stepping down to a 45 profile when i lower it.

honestly bro there okay...i mean if for some reason i had no other rims to put on i'd throw those on for a DD...haha...its just they dont go well with the nsx calipers bro...

 

His rims aren't "that bad" ya'll... It's okay bro, everyone disses my rims too when I personally think they are sick as hell and would choose them over anything else if I had another chance... (Black 15" PIAA FR-7's)

 

I'll leave it at this. There better than the stock 14" steelies and wheel covers on the car before...and they were dirt cheap.

No idea why it bugs me that someone's rippin on my wheels, maybe I'm having a immature moment. Oh well. back to the show!

Honestly it depends on wheel size. If you want to run 17s or 18s, 5 lug is gonna give you more options, but anything smaller, i mean almost all of em are available in 4 or 5 bolt pattern.

 

I'm going back to 4lug after being 5lug for 3 or 4 years now because of the amount of good used wheels out there. I was never really in love with the pedal feel or throttle response with 5 lug. figure if I need better braking i'll just get better pads, and enjoy the weight advantage and better wheel clearance.

 

Five lug conversions are a waste of time in my opinion.
