Wheel choice, bigger brake choice.

From my understanding the biggest incentive is for wheel choice. I came to the same conclusion you did before starting my project and decided to stay with 4 lug and just get a BBK, even though I had a complete e36 M3 suspension and brake setup from my parts car. Some others who have gone 5 lug might have other ideas.

This may sound like an odd question from me as I have dump loads of money into my 5-lug setup.....

That being said, I guess I'm not totally sold on it.......yet. Obvious benefit is the brake upgrade, but looking back I could have had a Massive kit for a fraction of what I have spent so far. Not to mention, I'm not overly impressed with the wheel options that are in my price range.

My build is plentiful in the power department so stopping is a big deal, beyond that give me reasons why to stay with it and not revert back to 4-lug, which has a far higher selection of wheels that are lighter and fall into my price point.
