no, I think silver would look much better on a red car. White only looks good on white cars..but thats just my 2 cents

I beg to differ, justin's car, I don't remember his exact screen name, socalifludesi or something similar, has white Konig Rated-Rs and it looks pretty damn good.

I like my white konig traffiks... BTW they look a bit small since they are only 15s... Larger white rims would like better (for example toxxins), but I didnt want to kill my performance:


Sorry about the picture size, but i didnt have a chance to shrink em.

I think white rims look good, too. Rated-R's are definitely nice. Also, HP Racing makes white rims with a silver lip that look exactly like the RH Evolution C2's, but I think it would look kinda funny if you didn't have a kit with those rims. Konig Verdicts look good, but I don't know if they make them in white. Silver looks nice too though! Plus there are alot more options in silver.

Hey what's up Ryan!!! Its been a while since I dropped by the board (damn midterms). BTW thanks for the compliments!!! Yep, white rims on a red car looks tight but its a pain in the *#$ to keep it clean ( I hate brake dusts). So whats up? Any new mods since our last meet?

Yo Jordan, nice rims!!! So you finally got your lude back, eh. About the LCD install, are still up to it? Do you have all the parts? I will be available this weekend, so if you want I can help you out.

BTW those pics were taken before I installed my coilovers. I will upload new ones when I have the time.

If you're doing the swap, hit me up! I'll be glad to help. I have Honda's genuine service manual for Preludes. I can't imagine living without those.

How long did it take to do everything? It's pretty much straightforward right? Cuz that idea crossed my mind cuz sometimes I feel like my motor is too old (148K miles). It's still strong for an H23, no problems at all yet (knock on wood). It wouldn't hurt to be in the VTEC range with those H22s and experience the fun from those 30 extra ponies.

uh...total removal/install time of the 2 motors if you take out all the time it took for him to get the motor, was probably about 2 full days. Everything worked right the first time he cranked it over.

I think white rims look pretty good on red car. But I think that silver looks better. I like the SSR's in silver.

I would go with the white. I think white rims look awsome on red, black, and silver cars. Especially Ludes!!

About... 17" rated r's are usually like 135-160 a piece, and you can get 17" tires for around 80-120 a piece. They get them on ebay alot, and you can often get a slightly used set for like 600-700 (plus like 100 for shipping).

Also check out tirerack.com and tires.com (i think), you can usually find better prices online...
