Default Rims??

What do you guys think, should i go with some OEM 95 GSR rims or go after market??? It would be on a Red civic couple and almost done installing my custom turbo so need some rims and tires. Thanks!

Depends... Do you want to race with these wheels, or showoff with them. It'd be a nice set to have for the winter or so, but I'd get aftermarket myself...

since you're considering oem gsr rims, I assume you're looking for all around driveability and function, I'd say 15's or 16's aftermarket... honestly bronze wheels look sweet on red cars

Congrats on your pending boost:thumbup: .As far as rims go,do what you like,but i have found that lighter is better.If you don't mind saving(or spending) for lighter rims it is the best thing.
I use to roll on 25 Ib 17" crome rims but switched to 14.5Ib 17"rims and loved the ride.The small bumps just seemed to disappear:thumbup: .I never thought that rim waight would make a noticable difference,but it really does.

Oh,almost forgot.If you live in a winter climate i would recommend
(if you go 17") to keep the stock rims foe snowtires.
