Default New Wheels on the Prelude

Hello all. I don't post here all that much, but I thought I'd show off my 2001 Prelude. Not a whole lot done to it so far.



It's lowered on Tokico Blues with Tein S-Tech springs, wheels are recently refinished Volk GT-C's, it has a brand new OEM front lip, paint matched side and rear skirts, OEM wing, AEM SRI, and an EM Racing C-Pillar bar. Oh, and it also has 276,000 miles. .

Wow Looks great especially considering the mileage. Love it! SH or Base? 5-Spd or Auto? Looks great regardless.

Thanks, it's a base with an auto unfortunately. I hope to do a manual swap someday.

Clean BB, nice to see the condition it's in especially for being such a work horse! Try to source the rest of the OEM kit, or perhaps go for the Mugen kit?

Thanks. I don't really like the looks of the side skirts and rear lip of the OEM kit, if I was going to do more, I would get the Mugen one. But I'm pretty happy with this look for now.

Thanks. I've got some Baer crossed drilled rotors coming soon, I'm also going to add JDM fogs, some new seats, and more power eventually.

Your lude is beautiful bud! Im thinking of going the same route with the wifeys lude, if you dont mind me asking. What are the specs on the wheel and tire setup, and how is the ride comfort on the suspension setup? Thanks in advance!

Wheels are 17x7, and the tires are made by Achilles, sized 215/45/R17. The suspension setup is slightly less comfortable than stock, but it's not like it's back-breaking or anything. I daily drive the car, and it's still very tolerable. And thank you for the complement!

Thanks. It seems like most people either love or hate these wheels.
