Wheels

Hey guys, I have a red 96 Integra LS. I was wondering what kind of wheels would give it a really good look. I've been undecisive about it so I thought you guys can give me your opinions. It's best if you guys got pix of the wheels on the car and give the company that makes the wheel.

I like powder coated fat fives, looks dandy. You can find it on eBay under "Gsr Wheels"

wait wait, black / gunmetal te37s are the hotness.

if you wanna go baller on a budget, I think the 94-95 GSR rims in black will look good, minus the center caps.

I really don't like any of the stock Integra wheels, the blades and the fat fives just don't appeal to me at all. My friend has a white Integra with the 99 SI wheels on them, looks good but I'm not sure how they'll do with a red car. I was thinking along the lines of those Enkei anthracite wheels (the black ones with the silver edges).

Well, I CAAAAAN tell you, but because I'm not of male gender, I can admit that I DO like that picture. Come to think of it, I noticed that I don't like many rims left in that stock image. I like a lot of the black/gunmetal ones. Odd, so, Yes, Pat, they DO look pretty nice, but I think the fat fives look nice too.

Hm, know all those common wheels, fat Fives, Swirlies, the other 94-95 GSR "Star" ones, and the Si wheels..they all look better when they're black or gun metal.

yay? nay?

If you're gonna keep it showish, I say 17. If you want something mellow and simple, 16. I always go with 15s for the more race look and I have only put my 17s on for a wedding I attended. heh.

I've decided on the 16s..cheaper

Can you guys help me? I don't know which tire size to get for the 16s. The online store I'm buying from offers a set of 205/50R16....whatever the hell that means. I'm scared of getting tires as thick as those drag tires . Help

that sounds about right. 205's shouldn't rub on any honda with a wheel that has +42mm offset. you will run into problems going to 215's tho

black/gunmetal/charcoal looks great on red cars i think. same with bronze and gold. My teg is green with Rota slipstream:




I actually want another set. Those rims are now on my civic. I want something not common. Too many people roll around with that set. I might go with something along the lines of Buddy Club P1 or TR Work. Dont know yet. Gotta finish the turbo first......

How many inches are those Rotas man?

What do you guys think about this baby on my red Teg?

The pic is not really clear...but its a 6-spoke Enkei wheel with a polished lip (Enkei calls it anthracite).

For 4-lug it's 42, for 5-lug it's 38.

Did you just upgrade your turbo kit for your Civic?

No. My D-series motor is blown.

42mm offset is perfect...
