Default 14" rims too small???

Are 14" rims too small on integras?? Would it look funny dropped? I saw pics of Civic Hx rims painted black on a bubble back and looks hot. Anyone have pics?

Dude, yes they are too small. Why the he#* would you buy 14" wheels. That would look so gay on an Integra unless you are drag racing w/ slicks. Don't get anything less than 16". I know a guy that had 15" on his GSR and it looked ok but would be better w/ 16". Trust me dude, don't even think about 14".

They do look too small even though they are nice. I wouldn't go for anything less than 15 and anything over 17.

I was looking into getting a set of HX rims for my integra just because they were lightweight and tires were more affordable. You need spacers though for them to clear your brakes. As for the ChaseIntegra's post above i'd take 15's over 16's anyday.

For winter tires they are fine. Summer is a different story.... stay 15" or 16".

All non-ITR Tegs use the same size front brakes, I think, so 14" should fit fine (except maybe for the offset/spacer issue).

Yep - the hx rims will rub your brakes if you don't get spacers. Trust me, I learned the hard way "why the hell is this thing not moving." Ended up tearing about a 1/8 of an inch out of the inside of the rim. Besides 15's look hella better.
