Don't post threads in all caps and don't put 19s on a Prelude.

Anything bigger than a 17 is too much, and a 17 only looks good with the right drop.

19's on any honda is the biggest wheel you can get on there. I had 18s with a 3'' drop on my last lude.

The bigger the wheel, the higher the top speed per gear.

The lighter the wheel the faster you get there

No, that depends on tire size. Generally when you get larger wheel any place will automatically install tires which make the larger wheel add up to the same diameter as the smaller wheel with the tire included. If you get some 19s and put a huge tire with the same sidewall height as the stock tires then you will have some gearing changes.

Smaller diameter makes you accelerate faster moreso than the weight of the wheels.
