looks good, if you want to keep it clean i would suggest just picking up a pair of 94-95 ex rims and painting them, or just painting your current rims.. here's a pic of another member's ride, it looks pretty smooth imo.



some volk gt-n's in gunmetal would look pretty nice too, but it's all a matter of preference. what you like might not be the same as what others like. also, the Appearance and Cosmetic forum will probably yeild a little more input on topics like these. welcome to h-t.

Thanks.

But the thing with my wheels, is that they are 15". I was thinking 16" would be nice.

I would keep the prelude wheels and powdercoat them black or gunmetal imo.

If your dying for aftermarket. 16s are not abundant in 4x114.3 lugs....I think the 16" Rota C8s will fit, but don't quote me on that.

the wheels weigh about 14-15 lbs & they're 15x6.5 not 15x6

I know the Mugen MF8 wheels will fit your car, they're 16" light weight and look tight. but, if you look at kingmotorsports.com are those $550 for 4 or 1 wheel?

They are $550 for one. The rota circiuts you could get for $550 a set and have them be a few lb more.

The Prelude rims look really sick on the accord, or the type-r four lugs offset fit on the accord also. ;}

i was always wondering about rota sub zeros on my 90 accord. but im also leaning toward prelude si rims...and then painting either flat black or gunmetal. but the sub zeros look real good to me. ive always loved split 5 star designs.

yes they do, but my si wheels are 15" and the type R wheels (for my lug nut pattern) only come in 15" also...

im looking for 16"
