Default I need opinion on some rims!

Hello all. I have a white 96 integra. I am looking for some rims. I am thinking about the Volk te37. My friend says those are nice but I don't know anything about cars. I don't even know how to do an oil change! Any other suggestions? I just want nice looking rims. I am not gonna race or anything. And what color/size should I get? Thanks!

try the wheel and rim forum. you will see literaly thousands of white integras on rims. just look around in there before you post this question. you will get better answers to your questions by just flipping through old threads. get what you like and can afford.

Go for some nice 15" or 16" wheels for it. Stay away from crappy and ugly rims like "American Racing". What's your budget like? If you don't want to spend much, look for some nice Rota rims although if I were you, I wouldn't get replicas. The Volks you mentioned are nice. They'll look good for sure. You could also look at Mugen, Work, Sparco, old school BBS, JDM Enkei, and Spoon. You'll need something 4x100.

Even if I look at thousands of white integras on rims I still wouldn't know what looks nice. What looks nice to me may be really ugly to many. This is why I'm asking.

Do what you think looks nice...not what other people think looks nice. You think your going to be happy building a car that appeals to everyone but yourself?

Well, the way I see it, he is looking for direction. He knows nothing about cars so he is reaching out to the community for help. I think the most ignorant people, are the one's that end up with very aesthetically and functionally retarded wheels because all they know is what is sold at the local Sears.

Although I have to admit that I find it odd that he posted that he might like some wheels, but he is concerned others might not like them...

aysurxx--Thanks for being up front about your question. Your friend is right, but he chose a wheel that looks good on ANYTHING. It is also very well made and was specifically designed for racing--very popular in the Super GT series in Japan.

As mentioned in a previous post, start by doing a search for white integras. You are bound to see many different wheel combo's that you like. If you see something you like, do a search on those particular wheels and educate yourself so that people don't ridicule you for rolling on crappy wheels.

My reply means a lot? I'm flattered, to be honest... but I've got to know why? It's not like I'm anyone special.
