New wheels for the LXi

[87BLUELX-i]

I found these rims today and I'm going to try them on the LXi, if I end up not liking them then they will be for sale. They are kind of cool, I'm sure I'll get hosed for them, but I'm going for an old-school look. They are light as hell, and would probably make good AutoX wheels, tell me what you think.http://images.craigslist.org/3m83p93l55V15U05S4a5985a68d75b18814f8.jpg
They are 14", I don't know what size tire to go with though. I would like to get something that is low profile, I don't know. Hopefully by the time I get tires on these bad boys my camera will be fixed. I can't decide if they look good? Or if they are so damn ugly it makes them look.............ugly?

I personally dont like the looks of them, but I say go with what you like. Id like to see some pictures of them on the car.

oohhhh um those rims look garbage man no offense. hmmmm why not get the se-i stock rims? if you want old school look or prelude directionals<(if thats what you call'em).

^ Shut up, Mark. It's funny, I should quote you saying that my directionals looked like "garbage" and that I should stick with steelies. ;)

Go with them! I've seen a sedan with them before, and also these:

I like them; got some on my 1g Prelude & they suit it perfectly but are a cheeky, quirky & VERY 80's design so they certainly don't suit everything, I would not consider them for my 1g Accord. Reasonably light as you say for a factory effort (13.6 kg with tyres, directional early 1g Integra wheels were over 15kg), but only 5" wide.

The original (early?) shiny machined & clearcoated alloy finish with darker holes makes a huge difference. must refinish mine still.
