I have a 95 GSR sedan, dark green, and i was wonderin how large of rims i could go. My tires i near gone, so i was gonna purchase new rims with my new tires. Some of the roads i drive on aren't the smoothest, so what is a respectable size of rims that can handle abuse?

 

16's are a safe bet, for both traction, weight, and driveablilty through 'not so perfect' roads.
17's will do as well, you will most likely be able to fit wider tires onto the 17's, but they are heavier, and the rims will dent easier.

 

from the sound of your other thread, you're probably going to want to buy 20" chrome spinners...


but I recommend against that.

 

great comment

 

in all honesty, go search the integra pics thread that is stickied at the top. My favorite brand is Volk, but if you're on a small budget I recommend Rotas. Try www.machiii.net or a bazillion other sites.


My personal favorite wheel is the Volk TE37 in bronze, or the Rota Grid in bronze (the rota is the copy of the Volk).

 

I was about to suggest a bronze wheel. I think bronze looks awesome on green cars, and a set of rota grids can be had for super cheap...

 

Dont you think bronze will be a bit rice style?

 

does this look like rice to you?

 

I don't see many ricers sporting bronze wheels... what I see is a lot of 18" thin spoke chrome or gunmetal wheels with either a shitload or far too few spokes.

I guess they like showing off their drum brakes? :dunno:

But the thing I have to remind myself about rice is that many ricer styles are built upon sound foundations, but are cheapened, done in bad taste, and done in a way that hinders performance... Perfect example would be the downforce canards that I'm starting to see on civics...

 

that type r looks awesome, it would look better with the amber turn signals though.

i say get some 16"
