Default Need help with rim questions (and yes part technical)



I am thinking about getting some new wheels for the accord. There is a pic of her. I was thinking either some Rota Circuit 8s or some Rota Subzeros or even a set of Rota Attacks. I was wondering if anyone can photochop them onto my car? I want to go with 15s for lighter weight.
Here is the othe question, does anyone know the wheel weights for these wheels and how much a set of 96 prelude rims weigh? I already have the prelude rims, just want to see what would be lighter. I would also like to see what they look like in gunmetal with my cars color. My other question would I be able to fit the AV6 brake upgrade under the prelude rims and the rotas? Any opinions on this would be great.
If wrong forum, sorry, thought it might be kinda technical with weights and fitment. Oh and if any flamage on the stickers, they are already taken off.

c8 in gunmetal looks good on your car.
prelude rims are nice but they are little bit too damn heavy.

Yeah, I remember taking a good look at this site, can't remember where it was. The prelude rim weighs 19lbs. Accord 94-95 Ex: 16.5lbs I think those rims are your best bet for Honda OEM rims. Only lighter rims OEM are Civic Hx, but 14", 11.75lbs, ITR 15", JDM 4 bolt pattern, 12.3lbs, and S2000 JDM rims weighing 13.3 and 14.3lbs. Then again, good luck!

That is the wings west big mouth front bumper. I like it, one of the cleaner bumpers out there if you do one. Also the duralbility is excellent, I hit a racoon at 55mph and it just bent the mesh grill in and the paint chipped from the bumper flexing. Good quality!
