instead of spending money on cheap wheels with bad offset, use that money to convert to 5lug and start saving money for wheels all over again

I'm not saving money for the wheels. I have an acount at the store I work for (les schwab's), where I am making small payments, and get a huge discount. And I'd rather spend $500 on performance upgrades then on a useless five lug conversion. Maybe later, but until then, these wheels with small spacers if need be.

no 5 lug is preformance because you can get proper sized wheels and tires.... the singe bigest preformance product gain ever...

and if you can make payments on ****ty wheels at a hge discount you can do the same with good ones

read the rest of my post. I said later on I'd prolly do it, but at the moment, I'd rather make the car perform a little better, and later on step up to a five lug conversion, when I get some more important things out of the way. If I can buya full set of four wheels that I like for $250, and latero n get some 17x8 or 9" then fine, but at the moment, it's at the bottom of my list. I don't appreciate being in your sig either, but whatever, I'm gonna scoure your posts for the dumbest thing you've said on here, lol. jp, that isrude though man.

lol. I would much rather get some suspension supports and an intake atleast rather then spen $500 on a 5 lug conversion. No point in putting a set of 17x10's on a stock *** s13. The only mods I have are sleepy eyes, and a drop. I'd rather focus on immediate performance first, then spend money of a 5 lug conversion (which I STILL feel is not a very important 'performance' mod)

So you're getting rims now that will be swapped out anyways?IMO, just get a good set fo tires because bigger rims will most likely add more unsprung and rotational weight. Just save your money and get some good tires. Tires will make a huge differences in the car's handling.

You say you don't want to waste $500 on upgradeding to 5 lug but you will do it later. So you are going to waste the cost of these rims, tires and mounting and blancing? You will save money if you do things right the first time.

^ shut a you face, lol. Don't want to waste it before I get some more important things out of the way. AKA, that's at the bottom of my list, after I get performance stuff out of the way. Bash on me all you want. I already ordered the wheels. I'll do what I want, lol.
