Default 5th gen. wheels on 6th gen.

I recently replaced my LX wheel covers and stock michelins w/ 205/60/15 Falkens on 5th gen. EX seven spoke wheels(painted gunmetal gray). Check out the pics in my imagestation album and let me know what you all think...

I would appreciate any comments(good or bad).

Oh yeah...sorry about the image quality(bad camera). I will post better ones when I can.

the paint on the rims look good ... but the small rims don't look good on a 6th gen. you definately need a drop too.

a good drop will make it look good, but imo.... since 6th gens have a larger body.... small rims don't look too good as eklypse said.

Thanks for all the feedback. Just a question: Is a 2 inch drop practical enough for a daily driver? Also, if anyone would be nice enough to photoshop a drop for me I would appreciate it.

that should be close to a 2" drop.... a 2" drop is perfect for daily driving.... i'm dropped 2, and its fine, just becareful of speed bumps.

what's with this gunmetal paint on rims

anyway, I've got those same Falken's on my '97 Accord. but I copped the '96 SE rims to replace those dull azz '97 EX rims.

gotta check my webpage in my profile for pics. and "NO", you don't have to register to see my pics!:fawk:
