I was wondering.. for all you fox bodied guys out there. Do you prefer to have your wheel 4 or 5 lug? I know 4 lug is cheaper, since you do not have to change your spindles, axles, etc... OR do you prefer to change your axles and have 5 Lugged wheels?

5 spoke rims like cobra wheels look stupid ugly with 4 lugs.

only good looking 5 spoke wheels that are 4 lug are ponies because of the hubcap to cover the lugs.

if there's no cap over the lugs than a 5 spoke wheel needs a 5 lug conversion to look good.

if i had the time and money, my car would be a 5lug right now, but it's not.. there's such a greater aftermarket for wheels out there compared to the damned 4lug.. what the hell was Ford thinking??

5 lugs is good to have cause u have more wheels to pick from, but i'm not going to do it cause it just gives thiefs more of a reason to steal a car. just my 2 cents

I don't care for wheel selection personally.

If I was building a auto-x or track car I would do it for bigger brakes.

Def 100% no doubt 5-lug.

A lot of people don't want to do the conversion.
It can be expensive and time consuming.

I have never heard anyone who has done the conversion say they wish they hadn't.

It looks better, stops better!

i'm doing the 5 lug conversion now and so far it's a biatch. i'm gonna have to reroute my rear brake lines.. [Frown]
Hopefully, it's gonna be worth it.

4 lug 'cause I'm too lazy to do a 5 lug conversion and too cheap to buy new rims [Big Grin]

If my car wasn't a Cobra it would already have a 5 lug swap done to it, but since it has "special" wheels I'm keeping her a 4 lugger. [Big Grin]
