I get the impression that DCI is a front for a handful of elitests with moderately nice cars who surround themselves with people who cant think for themselves, who need to be part of something to feel better about themselves. Its a viscious cycle. -big bentley on vortex

All i have to talk you into is keeping your drum brakes, get J tube headers and eliminate heat.

The 7/8 push out of the wheel is a very good reason to keep drum brakes.

Just make sure you account for that push out when buying wheels.

You sticking wide five or four lug?

Its preference really.  It all depends on the style of wheels you want or will want eventually.

Here is a guide of 4 lug, wide five and five lug wheels.
