will 17's look gay not lowered?
Does anybody have pictures of 17's on a 5th gen. The price difference between 17's and 18's are f*cking ridiculous. Will it look retarded if it isn't lowered? Any pics with 40 or 45 series tires would be appreciated. Thanks

18s just aren't functional, so that makes them hideous in my eyes. Styles come and go but hp and speed never go out of fashion.

Some people can have 18s and hp and speed

I think a 4th gen has to have 18's to fill the wheel wells. I'd rather have a b*tchin car that outruns most cars on the road than an ordinary one that's a few tenth's faster.

Ex, Do you have 1/4 mile times yet?
GOT NOS, what are you running in the 1/4? A supercharged SS should be in the 11s.

Have some backbone and show some independence. Rant mode off.

They're doing tuning at the opener? I need to look into that then. $140 an hour is pretty painful.

My Hondata is only supposed to take 2 hours, which sounds about right because I don't have to deal with boost or cams(yet).

18's look great on 4th and 5th gen Preludes. But 17's are more practical for the average enthusiast. You have to have very thin rubber to run 18's at the correct overall diameter on our Preludes.

Grrrrr. Why do you allow the opinion of strangers to lead your social decisions. Geez, if you don't want to lower it, don't! Gads, this is the ricer thing that drives me nuts. Can't ever make a decision on your own without being told first that it's "cool." You sound like a girl asking, "do these make me look fat?" The question itself *is* gay.
Have some backbone and show some independence. Rant mode off.
I couldn't agree more. PROPS!
