If theres enough meat to upgrade to 1/2" studs (or whatever it is that Nascar uses) AND the bolt pattern is more "big 3" then wheels will be easier to source...

The LC100 has 5-lug wheels, but the stud bolts are bigger in diameter compared to the LC80 stud bolts.

The 5 lugs are now 14mm vs. the 6, 12mm lugs. 12mm lugs have been pron to shear off, no reports of lossing a 14mm stud.
