Default Good replacement (economical) rims for 4thgen?

Ok so my 92 Ex now has 2 bent stock rims, and it's really starting to affect ride performance at 50+mph. I am looking for some cheap but good replacement rims. Should I get/would 92 oem coupe rims fit? I like the look and I am sure they would be much cheaper than paying $800 for some rims that my car doesn't deserve


TIA

Phire


EDIT: I did do the silverstar 9005 replacement and Im loving it!

I went through the same problem, 2 bent rims, needed a stock replacement. Unfortunately at the time I couldn't find some used oem rims for a good price, so I ended up getting "rage breakers" at discout tire direct. A simple $85/rim 15" solution that looks close enough to stock for me, plus free shipping. Of course I'd like to get 17's, but due to my neighborhood sucking, I can't.

It is a clay bar that is used with quick detailer to remove particles from your paint like grime and stuff that will not wash off.

hrm. Not a fan of the whole black rim thing, wish they weren't painted. So any SE rim 4th gen and up will fit the 4th gens?
