5 lug wheels and brake rotors, or just have your stock rotors redrilled.

Ichiba hubs are like 420 new, new cheap rotors are like 100 and then you need nice 5 lug wheels.

Well first off it's going to cost more then 300. I actuall bought the Ebay ones with the OEM bearings already pressed in front/rear for 300 shipped. But then you have to buy 5 lug rotors or get yours drilled. I would just buy new ones cuz it;s a good time to buy some good drilled and slotted or upgrade to bigger rotors. Ichiba lugs are good but im hearing more and more of Ichiba putting crap bearings in their hubs. Some people end up having to buy OEM bearings and get them pressed into their hubs.

DIY time. Starting with the front. Unbolt your front caliper. Then take off the rotor and the little circular guard thing in the middel of the hub. There should be a kotter pin, and a huge bolt. Take out the kotter pin (dont lose it) and take a IIRC a 1 3/4 inch socket and take off the huge nut.

Then there are 4 bolt heads that are behind the hub. Take these off they are a PITA to get to but not to hard. You old hub should just come out. If it doesn't get a rubber mallet and give it a go.

Replace you old with the new hub. Bolt the new hub on, and screw on the big huge nut and put the kotter pin back in with the little shield and Boom. Move on to the next one.
