Nowhere in my post did I say anything about "JDM"... I just mean some aftermarket wheels. Painted oems are just way played out. Get something original

Obviously the fenders are no good, and those wheels are the ultimate ricer wheel. Man, everybody used to rock those by default. Konig Tantrums, Motegis, whatever they are....oh on the topic of JDM wheels, those are Advan knockoffs too.

That's not what people are saying...it's just that a lot of us think those wheels suck. They sell them at Pep Boys...I saw some ghetto dude rolling on them on his 80s Accord the other day. If you like them, don't worry about what we think. I just think the car would look 10 times better on different wheels. 16s aren't even too big, it's just that wheel style makes them look gigantic.

If you want to find some inexpensive wheels to put on there that are different from the typical Rotas and other JDM knockoffs people rock now, I'd get some Racing Hart C2 Evos or Konig Imagines. They're inexpensive and they'd both look good on that car.

yeah, they are pretty cheap wheels, thats why they're on here ($175 w/ tires). im just trying to get idea's of what would look good, and i plan to stay same color wheels thats on it now.
