why is that when you go from like 4x100 to 4x114 to 5x114 is it so much more expensive? why is it that people desire 5 lugs so much? i don't get it isn't it just a bolt pattern?

 

5 lug is so jdm or something.

 

but why pay so much for a specific lug pattern like 5 lug? any real gains other than 1 more lug to put on and take off?

 

i believe the more lugs, the stronger the connection to the wheel and stuff. i mean, i guess. that's why big trucks have more lugs. :dunno:

 

The more forces your wheels need to handle, the more lugs you need to keep the wheel from shearing off the lug bolts under braking and acceleration. That's why a lot of trucks have 8 or more lug bolts and performance cars have 5, while your good old Honda Civic only has 4.

 

That's one bolt of unsprung weight, baby

 

its very jdm

 

When people refer to 5 lug in the honda world it usually means the WHOLE brake swap. Swaping to itr/ctr brakes. That means 11" front rotors, 10" rear, larger calipers, the whole hubs, sometimes control arms, etc. They're arent just paying for more lugs (well a lot of jdm fags aka honda-tech are).

 

I'm Ron Burgundy?

 

because 4x100 is so strong h:
