yea i'd have to go for the blades too, since i just bought a set. you do know that you need to do the 5 or 4 lug conversion for the rims to fit right?

Re: Quick question about rims (95excoupeMT)

SI's are really played out. I'm more partial to the 96-97 gsr mesh wheels, which became the 99-01 (i think) LS wheels when the blades came out. It's all just personal preference though and you'll get 100 different answers for questions like this. Just go with what YOU like the best.

All stock rims are played out because they are stock. Go with Si.

Re: Quick question about rims (gambit33)

Re: Quick question about rims (gambit33)
Ive seen posts on here that it is hard to find replacement rotors for the type r brakes which i would convert to...some people say prelude vtec rotors work but i dont know...whats the diagnosis on this...it might be the sole reason to sway me to blades

**** no! This conversion is a pain in the ***... and even IF you get the right stuff sent to you itll be worn out and in need of replacement, which is ******* hard has hell to find.
The 5 lug **** is easy to find, just go to the Acura dealer, but I have a 6-page thread of bullshit here about the 96 ITR crap. PITA IMO
But it sure does look purdy dont it? hehe

Re: Quick question about rims
Blades look like chrome when they're all cleaned up.
I bought a set of them for my white hatch and before I could buy tires, I saw another white hatch rolling around with what looked like some dinky chrome rims...I laughed and said to myself, "Damn ricer." Then he stopped and I saw they were the same GSR blades I had in my garage!!
Needless to say I sold them the same week.
99-00 Si's are still the nicest and simplest OEM replacement you can get. They got played out for a reason. Nobody can argue with that.

Re: Quick question about rims (hybridreams)
yep, another vote for the si's.
the blades actually arent bad,
you just gotta paint em.
they DO look very chromy, as said before.
