no 5h17, that thing gives your car a completely different look especially with that drop!! i gotta look into getting me a nice lip like that, adds a little more umph to it if u know what i mean

i have the same lip but i totalled it when i hit a snow bank. nice looking car but im not a fan of the rims. i like a more open style rims. which don't go that great with these cars since they have tiny little rotors in the front with ugly (damn it i can't think of the word. the breaks in the back)

i didnt like the wheels at first but they are lighter then stock so i got em, i got em for free with good tires so i couldnt resist.

yea. my 94 accord came with 16 inch 5 spoke rims that look awsome. they are just a little beat up. im going to paint them and throw them on the 3 gee. i made them give me 4 new tires since tey were worn down to the radials. so those are my rims. this summer im going to pick out some new rims. not sure what though. if you have any idea tell me about it.

dude this is gotta be close to the best upgrade for handling and take off, ( the rims and tires ) cuz the car is alot more responsive and loves corners, also when i go back to the track i should get better times since i get better traction.:super:

yo man i'm TOTALLY feelin u on that one!!! have u seen my new rims??? lemme tell u guys like this, i was running new 13"s with NO traction, whatsoever, i mean in ANY type of slick road conditions i have to go as slow as possible or i'd just spin tires, but now, EVEN IN RAIN, i can go around damn near 90 degree ramps at almost 50mph!!! freakin crazy!!!!!! they never lose traction! i can't even do burnouts anymore cuz they freakin grab too nice....man i'm runnin kuhmos..

:cool: came color as my car. one thing tho, why the hell are your wipers all jacked up? Your car would look a lot cleaner if you painted your wipers black(stock color) and put them down at the original height. Other than that your car is really nice.

Nevermind. I didn't consider that his 94 Accord might have came with aftermarket rims that included 4x100mm and 113mm spacing:burn:

Great looking ride. I love the lip and I think the wheels fit the car nicely. However, your front wheels are on backwards.
