Default Want to see those rim 16" +

Getting new rims for my red 2000 integra (i currently have migle minal 1000 mm2plus in a 17 by 7 if anyone cares ) am looking to get new rims, need ideas, i live in NL Canada so i wouldn't worry about me having the same rims as you, cause we would probably never see each other

well please post pics of your rims and some info about the, ie if their strong, what you think of the finish, and if u would recomend them to me!!!


thanks Steve

This is purely opinion, I don't know if you're going purely for looks or going for speed, but anything bigger than 16 is going to slow you down, unless you get some nice light ones like Rotas.

nice wheels!!!


umm as far as speed i would like a light wheel but its not a big factor, i don't drive a race car!!! looking for strength and looks and yes i don't want them to be more then 21lb

with my current wheels im running a 15.3 so thats not bad considering i have only I/H/E

Well considering youre dumping money into I/H/E 17's would only be a step back. I would personally stick with 16s.

i think 17" rims are a lil too big. i think 16" is the best size.



16" silver rota slipstreams on 205/45/16 kumho 712's. very light, i think 14 pounds?? i forgot. they were very durable when i had them.

check out the appearance forum.......you'll find a lot more pics..but anyways......this is to give you an idea of some rims i've had:
15" '00 SI's

17" Racing Hart S7's

15" Rota Slipstreams

16" Rota Slipstreams

I've had more rims as well, but never took pics w/ my dig cam since i didnt have one at the time. I personally think 16's is perfect. The rims dont look too small, rims are too heavy, tires are still affordable, and you still get to keep that good ride quality. 17's tend to ride rough, rub in some cases, expensive tires, risk of bending rims because of low profile tires, etc. 15's are fun, but its just like being stock..so really, its up to you.
