recommend some wheels!!

[henrygiang]

what would you recommend for an EJ8??? dont want something that is too heavy! i want a good compromise between looks and comfort/practicality. also some pics would be great...cheers

What size rim are we looking for first, 15" 16" 17"?

What color is your car?

Any particular Styles (5 spoke etc)

Any particular color (bronze - polished alloy -black etc)

[kn1ghtm4r3]

15,16 imo 17 is just overkill lol

[Jarkz]

^^ hear what your saying...

He may want 17's though?

[simonnowis]

it really depends on what you think looks good, everyone has their own preferences.
are you the ricer type that wants big rims?
or you just after something light weight?

[Jamesnic]

whats your budget? if it was me, and i couldnt afford much, id go some oem rims, fat fives, blades or em1 rims, if moneys no issue then get some nice genuine rims, buddy clubs are always a winner, cp-r's , evos or some mugen rims would be hot hot stuff.

[henrygiang]

my car is cypress green... after lightweight but not too expensive ones (under 1K).... preferable something nice n simple....ie 5/6 spoke wheels and any colour that would site the car....not something that stands out rather blends in...... thing is i think the 15's will look a bit small...especially on a coupe??? but the bigger i get, usually the more expensive and usually compromising other things too like handling and comfort

[simonnowis]

15's dont look too bad, especially if u want something that blends in.

[steve88]

i personally dont like 15s, i love my 18s id go 19s if i could

[dahon]

15" oem wheels. looks good and subtle. doesnt weigh that much either.
16"s dont look that bad either, dont go too high up... youll lose the subtlety.. (that how u spell it?)
or you can go with 2nd hand buddclubs, ive seen some around the parts section for dirt cheap.

[nick_sixx]

16in buddyclub p1 racing, or p1 racing sf, **** theyre hot. get them in bronze on your green car, or black

[nugget1]

Here's mine with 15's, not very JDM but I like em, stocks were 14's

question is are u going to lower your car after you get wheels?

if u are.. by how much..?? that might help.

all sizes will look good if u lower your car accordingly.

i will eventually get it lowered.....not too much that it becomes impractical but enough so it looks alright

[dahon]

yeh then i suggest you go for 15 or 16s.
buddyclubs for that race look, oem wheels for the simple look.
theyll look great if you only lower your car by say an inch.

i was thinking of getting buddyclubs and while searching i stumbled upon these ssr type c wheels.( http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80718 )
they are fairly cheap....how do u think these would look especially since its gold colour on a green car....also does anybody have any pics of these wheels on a civic?

[ozc]

The above SSR wheels are only a pair. :p

[dahon]

henry heres one set that i found in the parts section. 650 for buddyclubs is awesome!
but yeah those ssrs look alright but only a pair? dang...
check these buddyclubs out man. your only problem would be shipping im guessing... but you can always see aye.

i bet people think you are al capone with 19in rims hey

[nick_sixx]

because he probably had 19inch chromies on the whiskey ghost, so did tony montana in scarface, and in the godfather, pretty much every car was riding on jestalt gv 2's

[Limbo]

15s are nice and light and are cheaper if you want tyres.
If you've got some money to blow then go 16s.

i've got some 15s if you want have a look at my signature.
each rim is about 6kgs
