17" would look much nicer than 16"... but otherwise looks like good buy, if you didnt paid too much

thanx for the reply fellas, im feeling the love here...

more details on the car... sooo the original owner was an old female lady (the best owners right !?) I mean like 50ish old, i can still remember the sellers face when I took the car on the freeway and really opened her up (7.5rpm in 2nd,3rd,4th) owner was holding on to the O **** handles the whole time which led me to think this baby prolly wasnt ever taken to the limit (and we all know I have another 500rpm to play with), the seller says it was garage all its life and i believe her because beside the usual minor door dings the paint is still minty fresh, no damage to the top of the rear leather seats where the sun hits, front dash has no cracks, discolor, fade nada, sunroof paint still matches the entire car, and besides the cancer rear weather strip all of them show no cracks or wear. So when I showed up at her house she handed me a USPS type of envelop of ALL of the services she has done.... in my mind I was expecting oil change receipt and ish but dang it included timing belt change, tuneups, alternator, battery, on and on and on even down to window wipers (cmon wipers !?)... all from one Honda dealership, after seeing this and the carfax I dropped my 4 stacks and I was out like a bandit, she wanted 55 hundo.


Today I removed the gold emblems (no offense S-LudeDan but ugghh) gave it five coats of flat black. *will post pics once they are cured and installed*

TypeT : the car originally came with some 17 enkei's and dont get me wrong they looked nice but ride wasnt all that great especially living in Los Angeles, so some 16's with thicker tires and a little drop will do the trick.

Slatelude : Ill update with pic on each mod fo sho

Wegzyzz : yeah she's old but I gave on of those new camaro a run for his money the other night....results = he prolly not going to mess around with another prelude for awhile especially with his chick in the car.... muahahaha

16's look way better on 4g Preludes than 17's.

It's true, 16's look better..even 15's look better than 17's on 4th gen. Depends on what they are of course.
