The steel wheel car has five lugs, and so the brake drum has to have five holes for it to fit over the wheel studs before fitting the wheel. Whilst it may well not need five studs on a wire wheel car, if it had less it would have to have a different brake drum to the steel wheel car. Anathema to motor manufacturers.
