1) WTF do you want 19" rims on the car again? Is this a trailer-queen-show-car? Because there is NO way you will be able to drive that on anything except super smooth roads, anywhere, EVER. Your sidewall might be 1/2", on pot hole or highway expansion joint and you can kiss your wheel buh bye.

2) Do you know how much 19" rims weigh, especially when chromed? Do you want to get beat in a drag race by an old lady leading a cow? Your 0-60 time will be measured in minutes, especially with an H23.

3) You don't just buy an adapter to change your car from 4 lug to 5 lug. Essentially you buy the entire 5 lug suspension knuckles, bearings, brake rotors and of course wheels.

Save yourself the time the headache, and the heartache: Go with 17's: they'll fill the wheel well fine, they'll weigh and cost less, you'll have sufficient sidewalls that you won't be replacing them regularly, and there are a reasonable number of choices available where you won't have to spend your 2500 doing the 5 lug conversion.

 

just trust me it wont be that hard

 

if u want something that looks that silly, u might as well just get some spinners.....it will also look like ass at stock ride height

 

Dunno abou


Dunno about you guys but 19s look pretty good 2 me and on that red prelude ... looks a lil high but u kno how much of a difference a body kit has compared 2 a lip kit. I think it will even out pretty good, like the last pic.I feel good about my decision.

 

Did you know not everyone wants a fast car?

 

No, they all look like toy cars. Why not go on any of the Prelude specific forums out there and ask about the 19"? Ask for people that have them for the pro's/con's...ultimately Its your money, your car, and your life.

That's a good thing, because if you wanted a fast car, you should sell the Prelude and get a C4 Corvette, or Rustang. If you want a car to post up next to on Saturday nights (and be original in the process), go get a Hyundai and bling it out, everything else has been done.

If you want a car that looks good, handles well, is sporty feeling and is reasonable to drive in the real world where gas prices are above $2/gal you buy a 'Lude. My point is a 19" wheel is not light (unless you have $2k per wheel to spend), that much unsprung, rotational mass, along with a taller overall final gear ratio, is a real killer to any performance that car does have.

 

I agree with you completely, but if the guy wants 19's then let him get 19's, along with more weight, worse gas milage, a bad ride, and flames from people like us.

haha

 

Ight i appreciate every1s opinion and every 1 has a point and im not here 2 get mad just 2 hear your opinion. But my car is an automatic which is a main reason im not leaning towards speed. Stricktly wanna do "show" because usually when i go to car shows "in my area", 92-96 Preludes are rarely seen and when they are its mayb 1 or 2 and they don't even look that good. I'm gonna get a different car later in lfie and then leave this car strictly for show... mayb that will make at least 1 or 2 ppl feel better lol.

 

Hah well it's your car man, and if you want 19's then get you some 19's.

Don't let anyone tell you different from what you want to do it's your car.

:thumbup:

 

those rims are sicc
