Nice one

Love the bb6s with factory leather,sexytime

So what R34 did you have and why'd you sell for a Prelude?

[H22Z]

Thanks EKVTIR-T

I use to have an R34 GTT coupe...

Well i always wanted to buy a Honda civic or a teggy and when my mate told me he was selling his prelude i thought why not buy something different..

all you need are enkei rpf1's 17x7.5 +48 and we'd be twins...love it!
with your hazey headlights your lucky you dont have the factory option plastic headlight covers like me because it would be a bitch to do..

needs to get a test pipe.*

GSi_PSi - Thanks man also I've tried cleaning the head lights most of the damage is done on the inside because of the H.I.D.. I'm looking into retrofit..

integragsi96 - Man enkei rpf1's would look so nice on my car.. how much are they? but to be honest i would like to find something in 16's

[integragsi96]

Um from jdm wheel imports they cost $1350 odd. Then theres tires.
The only problem I found with my 5th gen is that they dont like low offset wheels. If I was to go 17x8+48 they would scrub on the inside but +35 or so I woud need roll my rears.
Btw the stocl wheel size is 16x6.5 +55 and the tires should be 205/50-16

[H22Z]

Thanks for the info...

I found this the other day regarding wheel sizes and and offsets

[integragsi96]

Yeh thats a good find. Same to whats on preludeaustralia.com

[H22Z]

so would you say that 17x7.5 +48 would be the best option for the lude?

Also i will be posting up new pictures.. I just have to work out how to upload them without using Attached Thumbnails

[integragsi96]

depends what look you are after mate.
+48 17x7.5 is what i have. check out the pics of my lude.

one thing with preludes is that in order to go wide is to roll the guards. or to stretch them tires
