Default Need some opinions for wheels...95 captiva coupe rsd

im rockin the 15" konig bumps right now black with red undercut that i had from when my car was milano red. i hate them on the car now that its blue. my engine bay is offset by lime green so im thinkin about spun supamesh green wheels but im just not sure if that will look right. also im on dropzone coilovers right now bout to put on some progress coilovers and buddyclub upper control arms.

wanting to stay about $100/wheel

was also thinking maybe drag dr20 either black or gold

or something bronze....im just not good at wheels

im wanting to have about a finger of wheel gap and ill prolly be runnin 225/45 15

for $100 a wheel you might want to buy a set of used rims. my advice would be to save up and spend the money on some nice brand new wheels that you're going to own and take care of for a long time. if you want to match your bay the green enkei RPF1s would be sick, they are a limited edition item so you might have to order them from a jdm shop.

here is some examples of what im thinkin bout. i hate wheels that look flat with no depth, like the ones i have now. the supamesh have a lip on them which give them some depth. the konig daylites i cant really tell by the picture but i like the color on the blue car

I just looked through your build. I appreciate all the time and work in turning that heap around and making it RHD but if I may throw in my 2 cents; those green accents look HORRIBLE! Those stickers on the windshield could stand to be removed, the front license plate bracket needs to go, the mirrors just need a coat of blue paint, and you'll be much, much better off. Get a good intake on there and lose the throttle body filter . Now to the wheels; browse the classifieds and just go for a set that are clean and not too flashy. Don't put cheap knockoffs on the car after putting in all that work. Enkei wheels are always acceptable and aren't going to break the bank. Something simple and classy like: http://www.hondamarketplace.com/show....php?t=3020661 Just an example

constructive criticism, i love it. thanks for the input. yeah you're right i need blue on the mirrors. heck i need alot of things done to this car. i have to redo my brakelines in my bay, and change my clutch and flywheel soon too. as for the intake, yah its embarrassing lol. the reason im so pressed for money right now is im trying to buy a house so im not too worried about the car right now. ill get back into it heavy prolly next year. as for the liscense plate bracket, thats funny, i tried like hell when i had the bumber in primer to get that thing off, and it started to rip the plastic so i left it on

In that case, just save some cash, get your stuff straight and then do it up!
