k the reason i am probably gunna do the 5 lug convo is cuz when i was searching for drag rims weld tends to be the top brand....and for 4 lug rims theres the rodlites and the draglites that i liked, but the draglites are on wayy to many other stangs and the rodlites look kinda odd

but i think the prostars would look nice on my car[:-]

i did 5 lug convo with moser 31 spline axle upgrades with eaton posi and c clip eliminators, then up front got 94 95 spindles replaced the hubs got em at oreillys then put on proslot 13" rotors and 10th anniversary cobra calipers then added some MM SS brake lines and a 93 cobra MC and a distribution T for the 3-2 port conversion, easy,,,, got 03 cobra 17x9s on em all around w/ 275/40/17s nitto 555 drs and 555 extremes,,, cost is however much you want to spend, and have a spacer that is 0.330" made for the castle nut to sit on or stack some washers up on it, i spent a bunch on my setup b/c i didnt want the rearend to break once i put my new motor in and boost on the way, so if you are going to mod your motor over 400 or 500hp and drag it id say perfect time to swap rearend components
