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 Last edited by dabouncerx24 : 01-02-2005 at 08:29 PM. |

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? |
