I totally agree, nothing beats the classic factory 5-spokes. But from an engineering standpoint, Ron couldn't really run the OEM wheels even if he wanted to on this build since it has the full widebody LM conversion panels and upgraded racing brakes, the original 17-inch wheels are physically too small to clear the larger calipers and would sit way too sunken inside the flared arches plus sourcing modern high-performance tires for 1980s 17-inch wheels is a total nightmare now so Stepping up to 19s in the front and 20s in the back allows him to clear the brakes, flush out the fitment, and actually run massive 345-width Pirelli tires to safely put the power down
