I did a 5 lug conversion. So 5 lug wheel.

I believe the front was 1kg lighter and the rear 1kg heavier.

Those BBS are simply beautiful. I would be worried that no spare sets would be available, but i bet they'd be worth the same (or even more) if you were ever to sell them on.

It's a difficult choice. The lower price helps!
