Which rims should I get based on looks/quality etc? Btw, the Velox weigh 16.5lbs and the Rotas weigh 19lbs.

99 Prelude:


17" Velox VX-6R


17" Rota Battle

IMO.. i like ludes with 18's.. only because i think they're too heavy to be much faster to begin with, so might as well make it look good.

but the Velox's are cool.. they look like the buddy-clubs.. but 18's, even 19's look great on the ludes.. cuase you can still go 45 on 18s.. and still ride nice becuase the wheel well is so big and deep.

I like the stockers that you have on there now better than either of the choices.

Velox looks good. How about some Racing Harts?

the racing harts are too played out on ludes in my opinion.. I want something a little rarer.

I can afford more expensive rims.. but not brand new volks $$. I like the SSR comps, but I've heard way too many horror stories about them. I like buddy club pi1s too.. but they dont make em for 97+ ludes.

i used to have a red lude just like yours, except i had a kit and what not. i like how the rota battles look on ludes. sport bronze would look hot on your car.

17" bronze or gunmetal Battles, no question.

Velox wheels look kinda...super-cheap, to me anyway. I dunno why.
