For my summer tires I currently have a set of 17" Gunmetal Shu-4's. And I lately added a turbo kit to my car.


Now with saying that I am currently contemplating doing a 5-lug conversion with gunmetal ITR rims.

Should I or shouldn't I? Any opinions greatly appreciated.

Pros to doing the conversion:
- won't have to worry about these heavy *** 17's slowing me down

Cons:
- I really like my Shu-4's

Why bother with the 5 lug conversion? Save your money and put it towards a nice set of lightweight 15. There are lots of rims that are lighter than the stock ITR wheels. Unless you really have your heart set on the ITR rims, I wouldn't do the conversion.

 

You are right but I do like the look of the ITR rims thus the question. Decisions, decisions. Of course the money I get selling the Shu-4's would help offset the cost of the 5-lug. keep the suggestions coming please

 

i wouldnt waste the moeny on the 5 lug conversion .its not all its crakced up to be trust me .
BTW i think the 96 JDm itrs or something like that are 4 lug. double check and do a search to make sure , but thats another option

 

its a different bolt pattern. so that won't work. ive seen the conversion youre lookin at for about 1500 w/ rims...so theres not that big of a price difference. i would get the conversion.

 

I forgot all about those. The 00 GSR blades are another option.

Up here, JDM 4-lugs are hard to come by plus I'm not all into JDM stuff. I leave that to my friends

 

i think the car looks great the way it is if you ask me .
id leave it .

 

Thanks for the compliment.

Another reason for ditching the 17's also is that they're in need of some new rubber probably by next year. Don't really feel like shelling out $600-700 CAD for a new set of 17' rubber.

 

nice car....def get something lighter...for that turbo to spool up quicker

i have 17's now....im in the proccess of selling them for 15's

 

yo skafia, funny sig, but i think 80% of h-t members will get it. i think it'll just confuse them. hahah.

oh as for the car?? um.. i say save ur money for something better... like a set of te-37's!!!! heheh.... mm~mm~ goood!

 

Anymore suggestions?

 

i saw sell them and pick up a set of slips or something light, then save the money left over for turbo
