alright its about time I invested in new rims, with the theme of my car I want some flat black rims, but they can always be painted if the style I want dosent come in flat black. I have a 99 acura el, champange colour, with a ctr front lip and painted side skirts. the style of wheel I want are similar to the fat fives, so I need to find a wheel that has 5 spokes, and I am looking for some wide spokes too, I am thinking 17" because they fill the wheel well out a bit nicer then 16", without looking huge, you guys are smart with wheels, can you help me out?? also, what are some good sites to browse a quality selection of wheels?

 

Go with 16" or 15" you don't want 17" on a civic/ EL. Try looking in the Sponsor classifieds here, http://hondamarketplace.com or http://edgeracing.com or http://tirerack.com

 

Im not sure, I have seen 16"s with some decent rubber, and it looks like the wheel just dosent fill it, I mean, you can make any wheel fit if you lower it alot, but it seems like the bottom most part of the well is really wide compared to the wheel arc.. if that makes sense to you?? does anyone have wide 5 spoke rims they could post a pic of? thanks tonnss

True that.

 

the rim just looks so small compared to the wheel well width, heres a pic to see what I'm saying. these are 16" no?

sorry if this is your car, im not making fun, just would look that much nicer with an inch bigger rim.
