ive come across a great deal on these rims, and ive always loved them. they will be going on my 1992 silverstone metallic prelude. they are 18s. im thinking of changing rims because the ones on the car have some road rash from the previous owner and on the polished lip there are marks almost where the clear is peeling. here are pics of my car how it currently looks, a pic of the rims, a quick photoshop with the wheels on the car and then a couple of cars with gold wheels on the same color paint. opinions bad and good are welcome. wheels are just so hard to pick and especially colored wheels.

 

I like the first ones!

 

you mean the ones on the car now?

i do too. but they are a lil beat up and i bought the car from my friend the way it sits, and i would like to do something to kind of make it a little more mine.

 

I'm not sure if the rims are that light because of your quick photoshop or if they're actually that light... but if the final product looks more like the color combination on the S2K pic you posted, then i really like it.

 

How much do they weigh?

 

i believe they weigh 18 lbs.

they are actually called bronze gloss, but i think they look more gold. here are pics of the wheel from a few websites and some cars with the wheels on it.....

 

Are the first set of gold, Volk GT-N's? Good luck finding them in 4x114.. GT-N's are hard to find. If they're the RNR's or whatever, they're not made in 4x114..
And the second and third sets, the names have completely blanked from my mind.. But I know the one's on the S2K are expensive..

 

^get those enkeis

 

I say refinish the ones you currently have....I actually like them on your car A lot!

 

i wish i could afford those wheels, but i was just showing them to have an idea of what gold/bronze would look like on silverstone metallic.

 

I say you quit asking opinions and pick the one you like the most. Afterall, it is YOUR car.

 

i was waiting for this reaction, and its all good. im not basing my decision on this, im just wondering what other opinions are.

 

Save some money and keep the ones you have and maybe refinish them when you have some spare cash, at least its not like mine where it came with some blangin chrome rimz. =p

 

18s are way too big...a 4th gen isn't that big of a car to start with and any wheel that big just looks silly IMO.

 

The rims you currently have look awesome.
Imo the gold rims wouldn't look as good, and
i definately wouldnt go 18's even if you do
get new ones. Goodluck with it. Hope you
get what you like in the end.

 

I think it's different when you have a body kit..they look pretty good on his car. But that's just another opinion. The loss of acceleration is irrefutable.

I tried a set of 18's that came with my car and it was a HUGE difference from the 15's on there now.

 

Do something about that bodykit if you want to make the car a little "yours" and not your friends. My suggestion .. take it completely off, go with factory body. Keep the wheels you have, refinish them in Silver. 17" is the biggest wheel for a 4th-Gen 'Lude that won't make it look ridiculous. ..and while you're at it, lower the car a little. That would make this car "yours."

 

I have the Enkei's in 17" and in hyperblack instead of gold. Big fan of the five-spoke! Get what you want but that's another idea for you.

 

Wheel size has nothing to do with acceleration. Wheel weight and overall diameter do.

 

Then he better use 215/30 or 205/35 tires (which suck to drive on).. or they'll likely be bigger than stock. And any wheel you find in 18" will be lighter in a smaller size.. obviously.
