If anyone has 18x8" rims on their prelude...just let me know how they fit and how low you can possibly lower the car itself. thanks

 

your car will look dumb, be slower, and you will rub the wheel wells.

 

You ever seen those online car games where they let you adjust the height of the car?

You know how you can get it so low, and the rims so big, that the tires stick out above the fender?

You can really do that, just get a sawzall, cut holes in the top of the fenders, then get those 18s on there and cut your springs in half. That **** will be slammed and riding clean homes.

Don't forget the nos either.

 

i had 18 x 7.5's i liked the way it looked but performance definately suffered

 

so what ur all saying is that 17's would be the better way out?? lol

 

17's is the BIGGEST i would ever go. Personally if i were you i'd rock some 16s. They look alot better than ghettoass 18's

 

I run 16's dd,and 14's on my track days(w slicks),its all prefference,17's look nice but are too big for my liking......u want big rims,then get a chrystler 300c.Lots of people like the stock 15's

i'm not a big fan of those, but how much are they? if your not looking to spend alot and still look good, look at rotas

 

they're about 560 for just rims...i havent checked into rota much...any suggestions between color/style/size...i have a 5th gen silver prelude and i just want it to look good

 

I think 5th gens can get away with 17s much better than a 4th gen can, but even then, some 16s would look much better in my opinion. I think that having a silver car gives you the most options for suitable wheel colors. A 16" gunmetal with a polished lip would look sharp, but as far as the model/style of wheel, thats in your hands my friend. I just ask that you please do not choose some mechanical-chrome-insectoid wheel, or anything else that is equally as ostentatious.

Thank you.

although it may sound cliche to many, 16" flat black rota slipstream would look sick any other suggestions

 

I would ONLY go 18's if your looking for mostly all show no go. Or you plan to make it a show car. A lightweight 16 is probably the route I am going to take when I purchase wheels, because #1 I like the way they look and #2 performance isnt hurt from the stock SRV wheels. It will probably increase depending on your tire size. But yah, thats my rant.

 

heres a pic i found of a clean silver lude w/black rota slips. looks sexy

 

I always thought 17s were too big, but not after i put mine on..

heres now low my car sits compaired to the road





and heres a good sideshot of the 17's
