I have a 99 ek hatch back...its vogue silver metallic and I was wondering what wheels you guys think look good? I'm trying to get opinions for my next choice. Right now I have 15" nippon racing wheels (same thing as slipstreams but in one color rota never made) Its like a goldish-brownish-gunmetal, almost looks like desert sand mica.....But irrelivant I want to do a 16" wheel...and consider money not a problem in this situation because I want to do something nice as expletive.
Everyones opinion matters...tell me what you guys think...and black is my least favorite on my car (i've had black slips..didn't like it lol too plain) but tell me what ya think! Pictures would be great!

My car as of now:


And what I plan to do once I get the money for 5-lug:


And last but not least...rsx "blades" in motion:

Most of the aestetically challenged on here who want 'JDM" or "clean" will tell ya to get slips. What I'll tell ya, is that with 16s, you want slightly oversized tires, unless the car is lowered. My 96 sedan in silver looks jacked cause i got 16s and too small of tires. Id reccomend a silver finish, like a metal look, maybe a bronze. NOT green or red, and NOT white or black. flat black looks SO gay. Id go with somethin that makes the car look like its standing on real rollers, like you know its gonna look cool spinnin.


I went with these because it gives the car depth, they look like wheels, and now at least, I have some good brakes to fill the wheels. But notice the car looks tall, i mean thats the camera angle and all, but if your car is lowered, 16s will look great, just a nice tuck.

That's your opinion. Some might say your car looks like ****? Regardless, get a wheel that YOU like. Not what other people think look good. I think your car looks good as it stands now.

 

Thanks man, and I appreciate all opinions, whether I agree or not....I love my car now but things have to change eventually...I'm contemplating becoming a wheel *****...I even thought about doing GSR blades on it at one point in time...I really LOVE the RSX wheels but I can't afford the 5 lug yet lol...but keep the comments coming, I love the feedback!

 

 

Lol, hell yeah...I forgot to mention i'm in love with USDM itr wheels..lol but 5-lug = a lot, I found some deals where people were selling the whole ITR suspension w/ USDM itr wheels for like 1800-2000..but yeah **** lol that **** is clean and pics make it nice to see what it looks like

wheres the tech???? there are no questions about installing 5 lug anywhere or and questions about 5 lug at at all in that statement

 

dude, I was joking..but does it seriously even matter? And to make you happy, how hard is it to do 5 lug conversions and does it have to be off an ITR or can I get it cheaper and easier off something else?

It's not hard at all. Around $1000 w/out wheels. ITR or CTR.

 

yo shut it JDM EJ1, dude asked for my opinion. you think my car looks like ****? why? cause i got COOL rims, post up your car, lets take this to the appearence/cosmetic forum. I gave him my opinion cause he asked, not "get wheels YOU like" some people want other peoples views so that they CAN make their own decision. Lets take this outside kid, post up.

 

Alright fellas, everyone has their own opinions...I appreciate them and I like the feedback, so lets not bust on eachothers rides...style is style...if everyone was the same the world would be different...if yall wanna hate...go onto like a dodge or domestic website and make fun of loser who need 4 more cylinders to feel like men...dont get me wrong, v8's can be nice..but when they bust on us honda/import guys....they blow

 

To simplify, Dodge Viper 8.3L, 500hp.

Vers a Honda 2.0L, 240hp.

If Honda made a viper, it produce 996 horsepower. Haha, assuming a 8.3L V10 can rev to 9,000 RPM.

 

I say go for silver.

 

hey post creator, I like those wheels, do they have them in black/gunmetal with a polished lip?

 

Wow 1800=2000$.. is alot of money. I can get ITR suspension with wheels and tires for $1000 or less.. But I LOVE The way the 96 jspec ITR's look.. I like me better then the USDM GM ITR's..

 

And last but not least...rsx "blades" in motion:


This one is a sick *** shot.... Love the RSX wheels on that EK...

 

yeah I really like those wheels too..and to the guy who gets hook ups on itr suspensions, are we talking 4x1.44 or 5x100, If you can help me out i'd appreciate it..I need to pick up a 5 lug suspension....and to the other guy asking about the wheels in black w/ a polished lip...which wheels?
