Default Type SH Lightweight Rim question

I like the idea of having some lightweight rims, so do you think some 15's in the front would look ok w/ 16's in the back of the same rim?

The reason I would want a smaller rim in the front would be less weight, and cost.

Or is that too much trouble that going all around 15's would fix? Thanks in advance.

If you're after less weight and less cost, why go with 16" in the back?

Get 15's all around with a 225 tire

So is it just me, or is it hard finding light 5 lug rims that will fit a prelude...They dont even list that size for a 5th gen on tirerack.com

Exactly what I was gonna say. Rota slips look really good. Thats what I'm picking up for my 4th gen in a little bit

I may not have looked hard enough, but I don't think they make any for the 5th gen, or 5 lug.

There are plenty of wheels in the size you want. I dont know where you're looking, but Tirerack is a very bad start. Do some research elsewhere...

I just picked up some gm slipstreams from imotiv8.com. The guy there, Tony, is awesome and has great prices.
