A body kit w/o rims just looks funny. Definitely wheels!

Stock car with body kit looks weird. Stock car with Wheels looks better. I'd lower it first if you haven't done so.

Good choice Never seen them on 4th gens yet. Post some pics up if you get some. I'm either leaning towards mesh style rims or 5 spoke rims. I would get slipstreams but I think the Prelude looks better with 17 or 18 inch rims.


Peace

SR-V/VTEC wheels are fine IMO...I haven't made myself get wheels yet...and I'm lowered and have the rest of the bodykit on the way....SR/Si or S wheels is a different story though...they're a little too plain if you have a bodykit....at least the VTEC ones are funky (well 94-96 anyway)

It also depends on what kit you're talkin about. Some kits NEED rims...

Wheels, I unfortunately crashed my lude and had to buy the ww bigmouth kit to repair the bumper etc (best thing I ever did) How ever I was waiting 3 weeks for wheels and the car looked worse with the bodykit and factory rims than it did when it was completely stock (not saying stocks icky because its not, you know what I mean tho)

some people might say go with wheels and a DROP before u put the kit on...

but since youre getting the Blackwidow kit(same as mine) it will drop your ride closer to the ground a bit , id suggest putting the kit on first before u do the drop because u might go too low and scrape everywhere and ruin your fiberglass kit, i scrape sometimes and the first week i got the kit there was a small piece of wood on the highway which put a small crack on the underside of my sideskirt i was going 65 and it sounded like a gunshot when that focker hit my sideskirt. repaired it with fiberglass repair kit and paint, it looks like new now

I would say wheels...but in my case I'm getting my kit put on first because I'm getting a really good deal.....I was trying to do them at the same time but things came up...hopefully I will only have to wait a few weeks after to get my wheels
