Are new hubs worth it?

[samxini]

Well what do you guys think, are buying new 5 lug hubs to replace my 4 lug ones worth it or should I just try to find some used ones?

I've been looking for a while but they can be hard to find and when you do find them, they go fast.

So would there really be any benefits to buying new ones, other than them being new...If so what brands would you recomend?

[sebazztard]

depends really. new parts are always a better peice of mind but sometimes you can save a few bucks going used. my old car i had 4 years and i was still rolling on stock hubs/bearings for 188k miles with no signs of trouble. personally i would go new if you are going to swap over to 5 lug, unless you find a rediculous deal. do whats best in your budget, but remember sometimes spending more at first will save you money in the end.

you have to go through all the work to replace it anyway, might as well get new ones. Ichibas really arent too expensive

I would just go with new for the 5 lug
