need advice with wheel dilemma... pic request too

Riding on 18-inch wheels had been giving me a lot of problems, especially since I have been using my car as a daily driver

problems that I have had:
1. tires are too expensive, so I have to go with cheap tires ( like Nankangs )
that decrease the car's performance
2. road hazards from having such low-profile tires ( bent wheels, blow-outs )
3. decreased performance all-around from heavy wheels

I want to go with a 16-inch aftermarket setup, but I don't know if I can find anything that I like ( looks-wise ) as much as my 18s. This is where I need your suggestions. What I am thinking right now is going with a solid gloss black wheel with a red beadlock around the rim of it, but I would like to see a car with a picture of this first. My car is San Marino Red with a WWRS kit on it.

I have searched picture threads all over, but all I see is stock wheels or larger-sized wheels or wheels in the wrong color. If you all have any pictures of Preludes with smaller-sized Volks, Works, Rotas, etc. please post them up.

quick PS to give you an idea



*EDIT* These are obviously bigger than 16" and sorry the red rim didn't come out very well due to the compression. If you want I'll bring it out a bit more.

Man that's exactly what I want ( but smaller ). Do you have a link to that picture?

Those are Volk Racing wheels... I wonder if there is a company that makes a less-expensive version that looks similar to them.

As far as the red lip goes you could try and paint it but I doub't you'll be able to find some that come like that. If you wanted to spend the money you could have Wheel Technologies do it and make it look original.
