i am thinking about getting some 16 inch 5zigen rims and my friend tels me that if i get them my speedometer will be thown off a few mph. he said that the weight of the wheel would change the speedo. is that tru? if so how much would it change it?

 

No. Only the overall diameter of the tire will change this. Only the overall tire diameter will change this.

yea just make sure you dont get huge tires.

 

overall diameter of the wheel (plus tires) will throw off the speedo.

with 18s you might have to tuck your fenders and watch for rubbing inside the wheelwell.

18s are too large for an integra IMHO but whatever floats your boat. If you havent lowered your car, then it shouldnt be a problem... if you lowered it... i'd be extra careful.

those 18s will be heavy so you will sacrifice performance for the bling.
