Well, I got done with the front end conversion and the paint is pretty much done.

Several months before the body work was finished I picked up a nice set of OEM Honda Factory Performance wheels. I asked around and a buddy of mine said I should get 205-40's and that it would look better.

I put them on and for some reason I think the tires are too thin. They mayke the wheels look huge. Or maybe it's just the small car? The wheels are 16x6.5 but they look like 17's.

I had a set of Integra LS mesh wheels on another crx i used to own and it looked ok.

Any input and opinions are welcome. My friend says that I am just not "used" to the look yet because all I have ever had on my CRX are 14's(195-60-14) and 15's(205-50-15's).

This is my first set of 16's and I went with 205-40's.......I'd like to hear from other 16 inch wheel owners on the subject. Thanks!

 

yeah it looks big because of the thin spokes and thin tires.

 

They look big because CRX's are tiny and are better suited for 15's. Yours looks good just the way it is though

 

looks fine to me

 

I got them because they reminded me alot of the CTR wheels in Japan and Europe. Except they got 17's and 5 lug

Too big man. Too big.

 

clean rex i think 15's would look better imo.

 

The car itself is beautiful. The wheels are a little big imo, but if you like it then tahts all that matters. Damn i want an sir front.

Gun metal regamasters would like sick!~

 

***** phat bro!

 

I think they look fine. I like it.

 

Yeah, I am starting to think maybe I made a mistake buying these. I really like them but I had no idea they would look this big on my car.

Would a fatter tire make a difference(maybe 205-45 or 205-50)??

here is how my old 89 used to look(the car above is my new 90)




Another bad thing is I also got ahold of some Enkei RPF1's(also 16's) for a really good price from an online dealer....I wanted to use those for my car also

 

**** looks good to me

 

tight wheels!! my next set for my ep

 

i like them.

 

anyone sporting 16's with 205-45-16 tires?? Please post some pics...I would like to see how they look.

If you dont like em sell them to this guy lol

I personaly think a 15 would look better on the car either that or a bigger tire on those 16s would help

keep it, it just looks big now, you'll get used to it

 

looks like you have a caster problem on the front wheel. I just think that a thicker tire would help

 

looks good to me. maybe you just need a front lip to balance it out.

Yes, that front arm is slightly bent.

My 14's were totally shot so I went to get an alignment and they did the best they could to make it driveable. I put these 16's on there because the tires were practically new.

The swap is in the works along with a complete control arm/brake upgrade

Its got the OEM SiR lip on there. Maybe I need to get the J's racing replica??

 

I like it Maybe lower it down a tad more,might not looks as big

a "tad??"

like how much?

I am already low as hell...infact I am borderline rubbing my sideskirts on those damn speed bumps in my job parking lot

I still might do this considering the car is only going to be a weekend cruiser only and not a daily driver.

my biggest fear right now is hitting a pothole with sharp edges.
