my favourite wheels are these ones:

i think they're integra ls wheels or something, but it really comes down to personal taste. some wwill like 20" chromes, some will like standard ones.
Lexani Krystals, just kidding. twent fohs. Roll out
No i want something to look nice and bigger size....
Yeah I know. You want something probably lightweight too huh? I'd check out tirerack.com they got some cheaper rims on there.
I'm lookin at the Speedy Lite 6 wheels. I can't upload pics for some reason but you can check em out at wheelsnext.com. Peace
Is it better to get 17's or 18's (they look nice)Quote:

On the other hand, they look great, so who cares?
you should go for a 15" or 16"
17" is a pretty big for our cars
check out Rota's and the Tire Rack
15" rims = epic win
id say if your going for looks, get 17s and 2.5" drop.
peace.
yeah if you want light weight and have a decent size get 15s...plus the tires are cheaper than bigger sizes
fifteens with nice thin spokes so they dont look to heavy
5 or seven spokes look best in my opinion
the 3g accords are a well proportioned car , a set of wheels that are to big make the car look small and out of proportion and fat spokes make the look bottom heavy.
go to a shop that has the photoshop type thingee and try diff wheels on virtually before you buy
word ^^
yea like a18a said the acura integra ls rims would look nice they look good on my 2gee i just need a drop :o you can seem them in my signature.
they indeed do look good ^^ :D
Honestly I like the Honda Civic Si rims....(fat 5's), have them powdercoated or just leave them as is and have them static balanced...they would look sweet on a hatch. Just an opinion though.
those are the ones im getting

WWOOWW those are pretty nice hey where can i find those kind???Quote:

and now i cannt even burn out if i tried

17's ftw!

I kinda wanna see wut 18s look like on it tho...
~TDR
well i'm working on the set from the geo prism(toyota) heres a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP1Jyrx4Z0k
the best i have seen in person is the 15" motegi trak lites on rendon-lxi's car. that looked amazing.
otherwise I like slips and simple/light wheels like that. the 3g can't pull off too crazy of wheels so its good to keep a nice low key clean style on there..
My 5 spoke Rota's look pretty good for being 10+ years old!
I like the looks of 99 CIVIC SI wheels or Prelude SI wheels.

:wtf:
i should of taken a pic yesterday of my car in a parking garage...the lighting was perfect on my rims...i love my 16 inch slips...with a polished lip...il snap pics of them later
get whatever makes your heart flutter and your loins tingle. its your car, who cares what anyone else thinks!
personally i like Falken Hanabi's in bronze. can someone loan me $600??????? :)
i would avoid 18's like the plague. too big for our cars.
I have a set of 17's, which IMO is the biggest anyone should go on the 3G. The car sits on 15's right now, which are the track and everyday rims
EDIT: Here's a link to Steve's 'problem' with wheels. The first pic has 14" 2nd Gen Teg wheels. The rest, well... ...just read it, you'll see. He's done everything from 14" through 17" (the 17's are mine).

Well I look at different things when choosing rims. Some questions to ask yourself are: Is your car stock height? Do you plan on lowering it? Are you planning on repainting it in the future? Do you wanna have what everyone else has? Or do you want to be different and express your own style? Answering these questions should narrow down your choices. Do you have any pics of the car?
integra LS mesh rims , painted black with a polished lip FTW
i personally like my favorite... and you can either leave them that color or powder coat it any color you want :) and not to mention they are made by honda hehe

Panasports on a 3gee? Isn't the 3gee a bit angular for those? Plus they're retarded expensive! Nice wheels though. I think they'd fit the 1gee a little better though. :)
as most know this is what ive ended up with lol

Either the Panasport or the very similar RS Watanabe 8 spoke:

Not a 3gee, but very similar look:

That's always what I've heard too, but surprisingly when I took my BMW from 16" wheels to 20" wheels I had no change in ride quality. It rode just as nice on 20s as it did on the stockers. The one exception was potholes.. they definitely gave you more of a jarring impact when you hit them heh. But regular ride quality was great.Quote:

Although if I had them these would be on my car:
http://www.6ercoupe.de/Zubeh/BBS_RS.jpg
I has too many wheels
se-i rims with power coat goldish...
I wonder how my current rims would look like on a Hatch (see signature). I have a spare set that I'll try on the hatch and see how it looks.
Gotta repair the body 1st tough.
What kind of rims are those carotman?
id say 17-18s with a fatty dish even on a FWD offset. Drop the car respectfully. 1 inch isnt noticable and not worht the funds. I had to tell the wifey I lowered her car, she didnt even tell. 2-2.5 is a good drop but most kits I think require Jims pinchfork mod. Im washing and waxing the hatch tomorrow but its not lowered yet but Ill try to snap some pics if I get a chance either way.
The littler the wheel the more tire causeing a smoother ride. Ive been track tuned for years and love the feel of the road. If it were me Id hang a bottle of glue over my tires and see what they could take in every situation.
the only thing i dont like about black wheels is the parts that i like seeing (the spokes) are hard to see, even steel wheels with a polished lip would fool me lol
It is such an open question isn't it. You should get what you like basically. If not see as much as picture of 3rd gen with alloy wheel and decide what is your favourite ones.
I know it is totally up to you but this is what I consider if I get wheel - if the reason is for pure cosmetic, just get 17 or what ever it fits.
However, if you do get big big wheel and the wheel can show the brakes through spokes, make sure you have big brake disk upgrade or it will look a bit sad - the reason to get bigger wheel is to accomodate big brake disks, full stop(apart from looks). As someone mention above, big wheels are heavier compare to smaller wheel with same design and that will make the car slow literally. Only the benefit apart from cosmetic is the big brake disk=greater stopping power, that what Porsche has started wearing big wheels with low profile P7 tyres in 70's.
If the performance is the reason for the alloy wheel, I would say same size as original say 13 or 14. But 15 would be good compromise between cosmetic and performance. Below is my previous 15 inch wheel and I chose it for cosmetic and practicality with tyre choice (there is little choice with 14inch). These are Renault Clio OEM=heavy slow but ultra cheap. Ronal does similar ones. I know these are a bit old school but that is the exact point I chose them.

Below is my friends 16inch Hartge type ultra light wheel. (he is lucky having 2 pod caliper) carotman has similar ones.

On this page, the top pictures are wearing cool wheels but it works if you lower the car

On 3geez, I personally like thegreatdane's deepdish wheels on his sedan and picopop's back and silver wheel. I am not big fan of shining and grittering wheels as that will overshadow our car unless you have done some modification on the upper body - just my personal opinion:D
this is what i'm searching for, 92-96 corolla wheels, or 97 geo prism wheels, painted argent silver, beauty rings, H caps, and BF goodrich radial TA tires with the raised white letters. Old school, if you weren't running alloys in the 80's you had nicely painted wheels with beauty rings, or you had plain boring looking hubcaps. http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/d...rollawheel.jpg yes i brought it back from the dead, this topic is never really dead
........no....^
prime cholo rims > all
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...b7009Large.jpg
you have to see them on the car first, hard to explain, they don't look good on the sedan but look right with the lines on the hatch.Quote:

oh i was going to paint them, thats what they look like stock, the argent silver is that old silver that looks like older honda wheels and then you add the chrome beauty rings. for some reason the raised white letters look good on a hatchback, I used to have a set. if you paint a set of wheels right they look completely different.Quote:

in a hatch i agree....but on a sedan no....but thats what makes lost different
oh if i ever find another two of those aluminum rims from the prism they will go on the 98, impossible to find.
big wheels make your brakes look small. and lost are you choosing to install steel rims on your car? you should weigh your car when its done im interested to see if its the heavyest hatch on the site with all the customisation you have done :)
these are just 14's, i've seen a lot of small steel rims that weighed as much or less then aluminum rims. as far as weight, remember i got rid of a ton of weight from the factory carb and controls, got rid of the AC, I'm changing the battery to an odyssey which only weighs 20 pounds, and most everything i've made is made out of lightweight aircraft alloy. I also got rid of all the sound deadning materials. If I remember right, when I weighed all the ac stuff, it weighed almost as much as another person.Quote:

anyone know the bolt pattern and off set of a porsche 924, 1982 model, they look like front wheel drive offsets, 4 lug, beautiful wheels there is a set on an 82 at the yard, been sitting in mud for probably ten years.
I think they are 4x108...or at least any info I could find says 4x108.Quote:

Corona (pretty sure) is 4x100, but the offset on those is way different than the 3G. Might work though. But remember, as soon as you do the 88-89 lx-i brake upgrade, or if you have an 88-89 lx-i/se-i, 14" is the smallest you can go.

^ i almost got a set of riken's in gold, they were the 15" version, guy didn't want to part with them so i traded my 13" bbs basketweaves for his borbet type t's that i have now.
i think mesh anything looks great on the accords, i think some BBS RS 15" in gold on a white accord with black bumpers and molding would be beautiful. maybe with some window visors and some power folding mirrors and a lip... damn i'm gonna have to find me a white coupe.
no the bolt pattern is bigger on the corona and i have a set of enkai's on it so maybe i could get the hud driller outQuote:
