17's or 18's

Ok im in the market for a new set of rims.... now what size i figoured 16's would be 2 small and 19's would be too big so eithere 17's or 18's

personally.... I'd say get a set of 17's, 18's look nice on tegs but for some reason I think 17's look better on tegs then 18's do. It also depends on if you're going 'show' or 'go'... if you going for performance then you should stay away from 18's, if you're going for show then roll on 18's. Was any opinion established by the end of my reply???:confused: I like 17's.:D

Im going for Alot of go and some show... so 17's it is woo hoo there cheaper too

good choice on the 17's.......what kind are you considering?

http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/RacingHart/new/M6evo-sm.gif these .......

or.......http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Konig/verdict.jpg which ones...

the second ones..
18s are too big for integras i think. Some kid has 18s on his 95 hatch civic, and it looks like it has a higher than stock ride height now. it used to be lowered

I could have gotten 18's on my teg....but for sheer drivability it was better to stick with the 17's. 18's wouldn't ride well on the roads here, because they are such bad quality.....and would be too bumpy....its already quite bumpy with the 17s, and its illegal to have rims bigger than 2 inch bigger than standard size here too.

In that case, just get yourself an additional set of lightweight 15/16's for racing use...you don't really want to be using those heavy ass 17/18's....but they look nice for the street.

I want it Show quality but i also wanna be able to kick some ricer boys ass too...... i REALLY like the racing Hart rims ( first pic)

I too like the second ones but if YOU like the first ones then go with them....not like im going to see you drivin around on them...you will,(and MAYBE a few others on this forum)

pick the first one, you can fit 18s but be warned, you're gonna need low profiles and those would wear out fast and they are also expensive

Swifty, Im getting 17" racing wheels (Kosei K1 16.3lbs) on Wednesday. Ill post pics as soon as I get them mounted.

:)

Definately go with the 17's (as if that hadn't already been establishes, I just had to add it). I just put 17" TR Motorsports GK II on my 94' GS-R. Ride's a little more harsh with those 215/40/17's but hey, you can't beat the feel of a low profile tire. I included the pic. FYI, the center caps are on backorder from japan. :( On a side note, anybody know where I can order some red center caps?

on the pic below my integ is rollin on 18" c2 evo.. it look nice from the side but when u look at an angle from the front or back it looks kinda wierd. i say 16 or 17 is best.. and if u get 18 do not get 40 series tires haha.. stupid friend.. gave me wrong info. for a day or two my car sounded like it was farting all over the place.

plus its harder to find performance tires in 18"

talking about rims, you people heard of the sping bling right? they only come in 20+ inches and cost like 1500$ each. bling bling:smoka:

yeah i heard of em....there expensive...only the guys that drive the Escalade and Navigotor can afford em Rich bastards

hey I saw a Blazer day before yesterday with huge rims like that and low profile tires! it acrually didn't look too bad

definately get 17s

17's definently. The style depends on your taste, but a friend of mine put 17" Konig Tantrums on his Type R, it is lowered 2" on springs. The Wheels hog up the wheel wells really well. The Tantrum's spokes go all the way out to the edge of the rim, so they almost look like 18's, which is cool. If I am not mistaken i think your second choice of wheel is of similar design to the Tantrum, in which case they should look sweet.

I am planning on 17" Toxxins for my 94' GSR, but only after I get it lowered 1.5"-2.0" on adjustable Shocks & Springs. Big wheels on stock suspension make our Teggies look like monster trucks IMO.

Good luck with your decision, I don't think you can go wrong with either of your choices of style, but definently go with 17's to maintain drivability.

your volks look good, your first choices werent as good :)

SwiftyR -

what are you planning on doing with your current rims? any chance you may consider selling them?

fo sho go with the 17's
And yeah anyways, what are you going to do with ure current Volks rims?? If you are going to sell them hit me up. I like em and might consider buyin em off u...

I agree with everybody else 17's are a good size I've had 2 different sets of wheels both 17's and was happy with the size. For your choices you should try a set of ace spades thats what my last wheels were and they looked great.

I would say 17's...anything over 18 is overkill in my book :D

"And the rims keep spinning everytime I stop"

17s... dont go bigger than that on a teg

some tard at my school had a 98 Civic DX on 18" rims and he crashed it yesterday, little shit deserved it the way he mouthed off to everyone about how cool his car was.

he had a full kit, lime green paint job, exhaust TIP, and 18" enkei's

parents bought him the civic and all the stuff he added and i bet he'll have a new one by monday, spoiled little fucker
