i think that 18's look good on 5G preludes, but if you are serious about racing you're going to have to get some 16's or some lightweight 17s or 18s. If you have money get some volk, racing hart, advan, etc. rims. Cheap rims tend to be really heavy(rota and kosei are the only exceptions I can think of right now.)

Of course it's possible. I hit a pot-hole at about 30 and dented one of my stock rims. The 18's will slow you down for a drag application but would be great for cornering. For the strip you want small diameter rims with as wide and high aspect ratio tires as will fit in the fenders.

I still think 15" is the best way to go, much faster, practical, efficient, cheaper tires, better ride, and with the right wheels, looks kickass, because that is what REAL racecars use..

depends on what type of BBS rims. and yes.. 18x8 will fit.

for instance.. the 18x8 BBS RCJ weights in at only 17.9 lbs.

so ya.. it depends.

good luck
