Unless I missed something, he said he *didn't* want to upgrade hubs. Doing it on a non 6MT/R180 car is a nightmare when it comes to axles and all that fun stuff, and doesn't make sense unless you're doing the rest of the drivetrain to go with it; replacing a few wheel bearings/hubs (because they're wear items on the 5x114 hubs, too, on a track car) still puts you ahead fiscally over a hub swap, custom axles, new suspension, new wheels, etc.

Plus, one of the big benefits for hub swaps is wheel availability in wider sizes, which you can't take advantage of on a GC/GM without major bodywork or non-performance-oriented camber.
