I need rim suggestions... 5th gen nordic mist lude - Honda Prelude Forum

DeadFish · 06-30-2009, 12:58 PM

I plan on staying stock size 16, maybe go up to a 17 but anyways I need some suggestions... I suck at this. I dont know jack about rims... since I never ever purchased.

So if you have pics of a 5th gen Nordic Mist colored lude with some new shoes... please post some up for me.

I saw this one set I really liked.. but now I dont know the name... and I have no idea how to describe a rim... lol. It was not shiny chrome.. it was an off grey.. maybe mixed with black... it was really sharp.

Thanks in advance for schooling me on this... one of my rims is micro cracked and my wheel shakes a bit...from the other bent one ( a little).. Im sick of it... so I need to do something soon.

Thanks in advance.

what is your price range (per rim) and what styles do you like ( 5 spoke, mesh, etc.)?

Damn 02s don't know how to search.

I guess close to stock... or a bit cutting edge futuristic. I dont really like super shiny chrome... it should just fit.. enhance and not become the focal point of the car. I dont want to spend that much... but I dont want to buy ish.. because I constantly hear about people busting thier rims... which.. is probably the main reason i stayed away from ever purchasing... now that I need to do something.. I am open to suggestions.. or I am just going to call around and get 5th gen replacements from some rim shop.

if you want something that looks stock but gives the lude a more updated appearance, i think the newer rsx-s rims are the best bang for the buck.

DeadFish · 06-30-2009, 03:56 PM

hmmm.. I think I found what I like... Thanks Jon.... anyone know details about these rims, price, etc?

I'm with Roger. They are definitely a nice non-boyracer looking wheel.

WOW... thanks I do like those. Yea I dont want every 16 year old on earth trying to race my 10 year old car.. Thanks for the suggestion.

i have these rims im trying to sell,very similar to the above style and youll know theyll fit already.

These are off the lude,there is no curb damage and very little wear,these are in great shape.The one with the tire has a small dent in the outer lip from shipping so i bought an extra wheel and used that for a spare.Asking $425 plus shipping

ADR 17x7,5x114.3 or 5x 100 48 offset

5 wheels total,1 with a tire on it i used for a spare

ya.. see... I cant make a final decision on **** like this.. I am so indecisive when it comes to rims.. thats why I never purchased. There is always a pair of shoes I like... right when I am about to purchase.... But yea I do want the non boyracer look.

I have to also agree. They give the car sort of a Business-type serious look. Professional if you will.

Not those, though. The 17" type-s wheels look better.
