4 lug vs. 5 lug
My new 914 has a couple of badly converted 5 lug hubs. Now I have the conundrum of buying four 4-lug hubs and wheels or replacing the bad 5-lug hubs.
A couple of thoughts go through my mind, has anyone had problems with 5-lug conversions if done properly? Wheel failures? Stress on the suspension or brakes?
Replacing the bad hubs is probably the cheaper way of going. I have 5 very nice "cookie cutter" wheels, while not 914, they are in good shape and look fine on the car. I have a feeling selling these will not net enough to buy five 4-lug wheels.
I'd love some feedback. I'm not in this for show quality, but rather from a daily driver perspective. The balance of the car is in sweet condition.
Thanks, Dan
