Need help choosing rims

[YK86]

I have too many rims already so I need to make room by selling the ones I don't need and at the same time, find something for the SE-i (charcoal granite). I think all 4 options would cost me about the same amount.

Option 1
17" Enkei Rp-02 dual 4x100/114 bolt pattern. I bought these 5 years ago to replace my TSWs on the 4th gen but never used them. All 4 tires need to be replaced BUT they are light, built good, and worst case, I can use them on both my 3rd and 4th gen. I don't like the blue center caps so I'd probably spray them.

Option 2
17" (unknown brand, seller hasn't got back to me) dual 4x100/114 bolt pattern black with polished lip. Almost new Falken 205/40/17. A local guy has them for sale for the same price as it would cost me to get 4 new tires for the Enkeis. Never had black rims before but with the polished lip, it may flow well with both the 3rd and 4th gen.

Option 3
I still have my 16" Neeper Syncros on the 86. The tires have less than 1000miles on them but have been sitting for 8 years. I was going to throw them on the SEi for the time being and look for some new/used 16"s like the Honda HFP rims they sell for the Fit or something aftermarket and eventually swap the tires over. I'm not sure if 16's suit the 3rd gens better than 17's.

16" HFP (Honda Factory Performance) rims but I'm not set on these, just an idea of what kind of 16's I'm thinking about.

Option 4
None of the above. Sell all of them and look for nice OE style Honda/Acura 15" rims (like Integra fat fives).


Thanks for those who took the time to read.

I don't know what the 3rd option looks like, but I like the 2nd set, in a different color though (i never really liked black wheels with polished lip)

[YK86]

Thanks for the input. I didn't post the HFP rims in option 3 as it's just one of the many 16" rims I was thinking about but I posted up to give you an idea. I'm kind of at a loss as to what size looks the most balanced on the 3rd gens too.

hfp's ftw

I love the hfp wheels, but their offsets are terrible. Maybe use a small spacer 3-5mm?

IMO i think that 17 is to big for our cars.
if i could have i would have voted for 15" and the 16" option

i only like the multi patern rims because it does not look good imo. the htp rims look good but i dont like the offset and they are heavy at like 16-17 pounds...i bought rota slips in 16 inch that are 13.5 pounds

I like OEM rims alot.. but out of the pictures posted the hfp one looks sick!
.I don't really like more than one bolt pattern on rims

[charliekuney]

Get the Mugen Fit wheels if you're going OEM and 16".

[YK86]

Thanks a lot for the input. I didn't know the HFP rims had weird offsets. 55 is definitely not good.

I also have 17's on my 4th gen and it's barely acceptable so I do agree 17's will probably be too big for the 3rd gen. As much as I don't like dual bolt wheels, I'm only considering them as I could use them on both cars if I ever needed to.

I had some nice 15" Integra fat fives that I spend 2 weeks sanding and polishing to make it look mint but I sold it with the Acura EL. Maybe I should ask my friend to sell it back to me.


BTW, the Mugen Fit wheels are also 55 offset AND $400 each. That is totally not within my budget lol.

16's for sure. and watch out for the wheel/tire combos, alot of times they come w/ really shitty tires that will only last a year

[mushroom_toy]

Sell all of em and look for something period correct. :)
