5 lug conversion worth it or no?

I agree with the more wheel options. I strongly disagree with the brakes being better with 5 lug. There are no brake options that won't work with a 4 lug setup. Granted you need the right wheels, but the lug count has no affect on brake options.

Absolutely. And honestly, unless the car is seeing serious track duty, there’s very little need to upgrade brakes any further than quality rotors and more aggressive pads.

Wheel options are different with 5 lugs. Not necessarily better, depending on your taste. Many oldschool wheels are 4 lug, because that’s what many cars had during the time they were sold. Sometimes a 5 lug conversion can actually limit your options.

100% agree Deevergote, both are little limited, but finding that perfect set of 4 lug wheels for your set-up feels amazing I gotta say

It almost always looks better as well as functions better when you place a pentagon inside of a circle vs. a square inside of a circle (wheel wise). Also, not forgetting to mention, it's easier to resale 5 lug wheels than 4 lug wheels. The ratio of 5 lug cars to 4 lug cars is probabaly like 10:1 easily. More things to think about.
