Looks like a nice car. You may want to move the thread to the garage where more people can see it unless it is for sale.

Looks like american Eagle knock off-empis, not 5 lug.
Get some good two tone Fuchs which I think look the best with a white car.

whats the most economic way to go 5 lug?
Right, Rand, that is a cheap(ish) way to get to 5 bolt for the rear. Add to that $425 5 bolt rotors and you are ready to roll (in the rear) and have the added benefit of new bearings and bushings plus pretty trailing arms.
For the front, the best low cost way is to find a set of used 911 struts/spindles with rotors and calipers as a set. They are out there and you just need to make sure you have the right ball joint in your a-arm and the caliper isn't too big to be used with your 17mm MC. Once you get the used set you'll probably want to replace the strut cartridges and get the calipers rebuilt, so this might run $1k or more, depending on what you pick up the struts/spindles for.
There are cheaper ways, like adapters, but I think this is the way to go.
Hope this helped.

A low dollar way that is still safe is to buy this set up from me. It was on Army Dudes Car with a V-8. I am going to a tricker set up on my new car. $300. for you and as you are in Pomona you can pick it up in West LA. No core charge of $100. for the trailing arms. Just bolt them up. The front will just go on your suspensions.

tom were do I go to get a kit?
Nice find!
Time to get out the ice pick and poke around... Under the battery tray where the frame rail meets the lower firewall, then from the bottom, with rocker panel off, all around the frame rail, lower firewall, jack post, etc.
