what wheels do you want? stick with 4 lug if you like the oldschool low offset 15s, and move up to 5lug if you wanna run balla sizes, ex. 17x9 and up. fo sho mang

basically. you can still run big sizes on 4 lug but its very rare to find em in 4 lug. most of em are 5. 5 lug is the way to go imo.

if your a wheel *****, and are into nice sized wheels(17X9 and up) then go 5 lug. other than that there is no good advantages to an SE besides some came with fogs...but thats no performance issue. The stiff thing applied when they were new, now there all old and worn out so thats not really counted either.

Some SEs came with VLSDs, but not all.

17x9 is kinda useless if you live in a wet area though... easier to hyroplane on fatter wheels.

Other than that, theyre baller.

5lug useless without 9" or wider wheels? You totally crack me up with your wheel size opinions Jordan. anyways, the base model and se model have interior differences on the se the uphoulstry, adj inter. wipers, fog lamps, 5lug hubs, thicker front sway bars, front lip spoiler (zenki models). those are the only major differences... there was an optional vlsd/abs package on the se model not offered on the base.

IMO: u have more of a selection on 5 lug. if your not going to use the selection. why do you need the 5 lug?

threre. reworded.

i just get a little kick out of people when they give highly subjective responses. Jordan, It is obvious you said that 5lug is useless without running 17x9 wheels (or more agressive) around, this is obviously a very opinionated statement. it would have been much more appropriate to just say "to have a larger selection of wheels"

that makes no sense at all..I dont think that while anyone is building there cars they are thinking "im not gonna get these wheels and tires because when it rains outside i might hydroplane easier"..i build my car for the asphault, not the not the next flood that i plan on going out and driving in lol
