5th gen rims help
Hey i dont have much $$ and i want rims.... so i'm thinking about just getting rims and not lowering my car, since i want the 'honda gap' to not show much, i will either buy 15's 16' or maybe 17's......

whether you buy 15s, 16s, 17s, or 18s for that matter, the idea is to get the same rolling diameter on the new wheels as that of the original ones. if the diameters are the same, then the gap size is the same. unfortunately, bigger rims with lower profile tires usually make the gap *appear* bigger than it is.

Im lowered on factory wheels, and I'm gonna keep it that way because i killed the wheel gap and 94 accord wheels look pretty damn good in my opinion. Im gonna invest in some good tires though

If you dont want to lower your car, I would stay with the stock size or 16s.

all you folks that say "i don't have a lot of money" need to learn a coupla things.
Not having money for your car means:
1. You should focus on things you have money for....they are obviously more important to you.
2. you should focus on saving more so you will have money for your car.
3. you should not go out and buy compromises. Like getting 15's when you really want 18's....in the end you will always be dissatisfied with what you got.
think about it.
