well maybe not too soon, but eventually. i was looking and found these O.Z. crono HT's to catch my eye. fairly simple, handsome design. these would be replacing my Tenzon Passion R's. they look so good unmounted that i cant even imagine what they'd look like on the car. also an option for the prelude i'm still looking for. as being that i'm looking for a 5th gen prelude, i will eventually want to upgrade the wheels. the O.Z. wheels would be perfect for it also. but i did look into the honda accord optional wheels which i have a pic of below also. they only come in 5 lug, so not for the 3gee.

So these are going on the Accord or the Prelude?

well i dont know yet. if i get the prelude, i'll probably reserve buying them for it. but if i end up not getting a new car by the end of the year, i may just get the O.Z.s for the accord. they dont have a universal fit though, its specific to be 4 or 5 lug and in the spacing for the car unlike my Tenzos that also fit my 02 accord. so whatever i do order, they are only going to fit that car which kinda sucks but looks much better IMO than the universal lug pattern.

yea personally i dont even like the way wheels look with two 4x bolt patterns....but its soo hard to find any aftermarket wheels with less than two bolt patterns in them.

i'd thought about those also. but i was really looking for a wheel with a nice bit of lip on it. although neither of the ones i've picked had much lip like the ones i have now. havent decided on what size i want. i like my 17s but have to be careful with them sometimes. those HFP accord wheels are about $1400 with tires mounted. not bad actually. maybe if i get the prelude i should get those. they would accent the car nicely. might have to think about the HFP fit wheels for my 3gee though.

yeah cheapest i found them were like 450 just the rims plus tires. so another like 300 bucks for some good brand tires.

yeah, i'm not gonna skimp on tires if they are going on the prelude. as for the accord i'll probably go with ones like i already have. they were like $400, probably wouldnt do as well on something with more power but are fine for my 3gee. actually, i want some tires that wear well. but i havent found too many low profile tires that have a long tread life. like the michelins that my friends jetta came with were nice, but wore out fast. same with my friends GTO. could be from doing burn outs on the daily though. the tires i have are nexen brand, some korean brand i think but they have worn really well for being so cheap.
