Just better selection of everything available to you all around. Better suspension, brakes, wheel selection, axles etc.

You could get a set of those for under a grand, rock those till you are ready to do 5 lug.
If you can find them, they are okay. Certainly a lot better than what he has for sure. I think the idea is to update the look of the car to something more current. Plus those Pony R's are still a heavy cast wheel.

Agreed.
