so i think i have made my decision. i am going to sell these wheels and (i was going to buy a stock set of bbs but used ones go for what rotas do) ill buy a set of rotas and over this summer when i dont have to worry about school and a car and i can have my friends help, i will do the hub swap and keep the rotas as track wheels as they will work for that bolt pattern too, and buy some baller wheels in an amazing pattern. thoughts???
