Not quite worth it, huh? Might be cheaper in the long run to trade your entire car for the newer one just to get the wheels. lol

No, they changed the bolt pattern and now it's a six lug. That way it can handle the extra 300 ft lbs of torque and 400 hp at the wheels.

Okay, the bolt pattern and lugs are the same. But 1,000 a wheel, whoa!
