I am in the process of attempting to restore a 97. Goals are to have it turbo-ed at some point in the spring. It has the stock rims on it and the tires are pretty much shot. I don't drive the car a lot at this point but would like to drive it to work more. I have been looking and looking at rims.. I cant seem to find anything that catches my eye. Maybe you Honda heads might have some ideas. My goals for the car is pretty much a turbo and 12.5 sec 1/4th mile. (shooting for 400hp?) Pretty much stock on the inside and out except for the rims. I want something that is sporty but not over the top. A chrome lip would be nice and maybe some anthracite. The car is green and I intend to paint it back stock or British racing green. No gold rims. I just dont like the look.

Max $$ 2k for rims and tires.

Thanks for reading! I appreciate the help.

I think what everyone is trying to say is it's up to you. U have 2k to buy rims. Go enjoy the hunt!

It's your car, not ours.

I agree.. but I get nervous when doing crap like this. I wound up going with a 17 inch Maxxim Allegro wheels and some Yokohama tires

You keep asking what everyone thinks, the only thing that matters is your opinion and what you like.

Umm.. The links above are the rims and tires I purchased.

Looks decent, I say it needs a little drop to close the wheel well gap.

If you do a repaint, leave it that color, it is rare!

I do intend to repaint it factory. It is actually pretty low now. Its low enough that the factory upper ball joints do not have enough play to get it aligned right. So it is kinda parked right now due to this. I plan on putting some actual coilovers on it as soon as money allows. It has ground control coilover sleeves on it ATM. I am not a huge fan of lowering just for looks. I would rather have a moderately lowered car and a decent ride.
