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

Why pretent someone u are not, everyone else could see it.

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!
