:idea: what you guys think? check em out:http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/roadwheels/mach-10/
you guys think i should go with these? or another color or style?
whatever you do do not suggest chrome! or any wheel with chrome on it! i hate chrome! its so tacky. i dont mind chrome lug nuts but chrome wheels or fender trim or chrome by the foot even the honda badges. i hate chrome.
ive got the stock green color body or teal or whatever color you want to call it. some one let me know if these will look right. maybe with an 1.5" drop or something. also what about brakes? i heard that if you go with a bigger rim and tire you will over work your stock brakes. is this true or can i buy some better pads to handle this? im tryin to get a pic of my car up but i cant seem to drag my lazy ass out there with a camera to get it. its too damn cold out there. well its not that cold it was 60 something today i shouldve done it today oh well. maybe tommorrow. any way someone give me some advice on this situation. i like that style and there pretty cheap about 179 a piece. which is not too bad for nice rims! :deal:

I second that frankie89, hyper black is awsome. If I had enough coin when I bought my wheels, thats what I wouldv'e put on my car.
Thats a good choice buds 302 :thumbup:

man i know what you all are talkin about with the tight budget. it seems we all have plans for our cars but have a hard time comin up with the money to do it. thats why most people give up. but when its the only car you have you always seem to have a means of fixin it. funny how it works out that way huh!

i really like tenzo rims except most of them are very heavy

yeah but i figure they dont have all that many spokes so i dont think they would weigh that much. besides i dont care about wieght. my car is a heap anyway. i just want it to look better. it needs a bath but thats it. prolly some carpet shampoo

they look cool but tenzo's are pricey.

i think you'll get flamed for having rims that cost more than your car. but go for it. :)

i must not lie. those are nice. i'd say those are a good choice in any of those colors. probley a darker color for your car if its green like you said. you dont neccesarily have to go with bigger brakes, unless your doing some serious racing like on a track. the going with bigger brakes is more so for trucks most times though. we dont really have any great options for brakes unless you can fabricate some custom caliper mounts.

Those looks awesome! I'm in the market for some nice 18's or 20's for my 94 prelude. 17's look a little small on that car and I know that 18's look good and I have seen some 20's on one but I dont think that would be an everyday driver.
