Good Day Honda users,

I'm trying to decide on a new set of wheels for my 5th gen prelude. "Starters" I guess you could call it.
Nothing too fancy or pricey. My current choice is leaning towards a set of discount tire atoms. (Those bland school bus-esque wheels).
Is anyone aware of a compatible wheel set that won't dent the wallet; yet still looks cool?
Or is that as good as it gets?

Thank you for your cooperation

 

Take your pick from any Rota/other knock off wheel brand... if you like the style, I'm sure google/images can help you see pics of that wheel on a 5th gen lude. IMO, lowering should also go with any oversize aftermarket wheels, you don't want to be running around in 4x4 status.

If you're looking for something a bit classier (and can be easily pulled off without lowering, but also does look great lowered), try to find a set of RSX Type-S wheels (skinnier spokes compared to the base model wheel, which do look alright too), or I've always been a fan of the 06-08 Civic Si "flower petal" style wheels on 5th gens.

The classic recipe for a clean Honda is newer style OEM wheels, lipkit (OEM is my advice here, so smooth and simple), lower it down on reputable coilovers, and especially on 5th gens, JDM fogs.

Just to cover all bases, I wouldn't recommend wheels or aftermarket anything until you have a sold, rust free and mechanically sound base to start with.

 

Agree with the second reply, OEM+ lip kit and some newer gen Honda/Acura wheels. Subtle lowering and you will never regret your choice.
