How much did you pick up these rims for?

I have a set basically new and was planning on selling them.

Here is a pic of it on a 5th gen, got it from prelude power:

Looks ok, doesn't fit the line of a prelude very well in my opinion. Buy it, then sell it for a profit .

those are 18's though. Im not sure if that's the only size offered or not. I know there's a guy on Preludeonline.com that recently painted them black .

The Bortex rims are :
size: 18x7.5
lug pattern: 5x114.3
offset: 42mm
Rims are wrapped with NEO GEN tires (215-45-18)

I'm not too sure on the specs for the HFP rims but the tire size is 205/40/18

ohh ok, well both are 18's i guess if you want a change go for it. id have to see the car in person with both rims on to make a decision.

i think either rim would look good.. but im leaning more towards the mesh wheel.

I think you should keep your current wheels, they would look a lot better on a prelude than the HFP rims.

i don't think the hfp rims look bad, but personally i'd go with whichever is lighter.
