Default Traded 15 almighty grey regamasters For 16 inch 4x100 spoon sw388 was it a good trade?

I traded my friend JDMP my 15 regas almighty grey rims for 16 inch spoons 4x100 and some cash I was wondering if you'll think it was a good trade I had the regas on a red hatch and now I have a black ek so I went with the black spoons to get that all black look. Do you think it was a fair trade considering the weight difference and all other variables.

I hate how 15" rega's/spoon's look like anyway, the lip on the 16's looks much better and sets them apart from the rotas too

thanks guys i thought for a second maybe i should have kept the 15's. Thanks for the replys I'll take pics only thing i need different tires they have yokohamas on em but they are 225-45-16 and I had to raise the car so I'm thinking 205-45-16 or 205-40-16 what do you guys think.

205/45/16 (AVS ES100's or similar) or 215/45/16 (if you can find the discontinued RT-215 Azenis)

Don't run a 40 series tire on a 16" wheel, well - at least not an integra.

It might, all depends on the offset and width of the wheel, combined with how low your car is. 205/45/16 is the safest bet. The Azeni's are ******* thick as hell, almost like other 225's.

maybe , unless you have some really nice stiff suspension and do a little rolling.

205's should be cake.

I don't like the Almighty gray because they look green to me. But then again, everyone has black regas/rotas.

I could'nt put flat black wheels on a black car, especially and EK that same exact setup was on like a billion cars for awhile and then it spread to other colors like silver and that purple blue color.

It doesn't hurt the rim, if you search you can find some rotas that came out clean like this

My old silver EK had stripped 16in spoons and it was so much better looking

I guess black on black has to be appreciated or if you do it on an ek you need other things on the outside to make the car look good.

yeah my first honda was a 94 ls and the first set of wheels I got were some matte black black racing phantoms then borrowed some black rnr's and finally got silver z speeds I also had a set of bead blasted 16in sw388's and both of the silver rims just owned the blacks as far as clean goes

ekay jeremys dc is a perfect example of a black car done right
