Because my front 5 lug cost me $140 total, including new timken bearings, and using an OEM hub, which is much more beefy than an S14 hub, bolted right on in a whole 10 minutes, didnt require any spindle swapping, and I dont have some "ichiba/ssautochrome/megan/etcbsparts" on my car to have to hope they last a couple years.

full on track cars can take a lot more liberties with shit than a street car. bell bottom kits and crazy wheel fitment look cool sliding on a track, but when i want to drive to taco bus, im going to ruin all of that shit. so it just doesnt work for me. function over fashion.

Yes because :
Removing spindles, paying for S14 overpriced spindles, paying $260 for some oem hubs with new bearings, installing spindles, and having hubs that will require complete replacement @ $260 is so awesome.
Especially compared to :
$140 total for hubs with new bearings installed, and being able to get replacement bearings for $100 when the time actually does come.
Keep trying to justify it, you are retarded, you just try to play it off wishing you could be cool online.

Yes indeed, better parts, with less work, and less money, stupid indeed, good conclusion. Just because I took a better route than you, doesnt mean you have to let your pussy walls get ripped over it.

Good, however in reality, your hubs are thinner, and theoretically more likely to crack, in reality again, neither are realistically any less quality than the other, besides your crying because I didnt have to go through the trouble of swapping spindles, have the option of just replacing my bearings with another quality set in the future, and didnt spend $ for no reason.
