Title says it all - in your opinion, should I go with a 5 lug conversion and either 17/18 350z wheels or keep it 4 lug and spend the money on 4 4x114.3 17x9 +20 Fn01r-c's?

I'm thinking of going with falken FK452s on the fn01r-cs, and the 4 rims and tires would set me back $1300. On the other hand, 5 lug conversion, 5 lug brakes, rims and most likely new tires will run me about the same if not more.

I'm sure someone has been in the same position before, help a brotha out.

5 lug route = better in the long run (more 5-lug wheel options for when you get bored of your current ones)

staying 4 lug = quick fix, cheaper, but you're very limited to the wheels you want to get.

imo, I'd recommend going the 5 lug route...
