Default Rim and Camber question

I am about to buy the Velox Vx8 rims and was wondering if anyone has these rims and what they felt about them (good, bad, ect). Also, i need to buy a camber kit and im not sure what to look for. I see all different brands and prices. Can anyone help me with this? Any recommendations

I have a 94 accord

Well first off is your car slammed? What i've heard about 5th gen accords are that if they are really slammed and if you install on a camber kit, the control arm tends to hit the fender wall a lot and make a clanging noise everytime u hit a bump. I have first hand experience helpin out a buddy of mine. So yea u might think of filing away or cutting part of the fender wall when you install your camber kit. Either that or raising your car a bit. My buddys car was slammed with some eibach racing springs. I recommend the ingalls camber kit, heard that you can adjust a lot of +/- degree camber on it. Thats my $.02

how low exactly is your car? if it's not slammed than regular tires rotation can save alot of rubber...i mean there's no point for a camber kit if you car is lower like 2 inch..

if you lower your car more than 2 your going to need the camber kit... and if you go any lower than that the kit will make you control arm slap your fender which will require cutting or you will get dents
