Need Opinions On Wheels! - Honda Prelude Forum

D R E W · 05-27-2003, 10:45 PM

Hey I need some opinions! I have a set of 18in Advan Kreuzers Series 5 in silver metallic for my 5th. Gen. Honda Prelude and decided to order another set this time in gun-metallic for my 03' Honda Accord EX-V6 Coupe (Nighthawk Black Pearl) however what are your opinions on a set of 18in Advan Kreuzers Series 10 in dark gun-metal for my Accord. Since I already have a set of the 5 series on the Prelude I'm wondering if the 10 series would look nice instead of the 5 series this time around. Opinions please? Stay w/ the 5 series in gun-metal or go with the 10 series in dark gun-metal. Thanks in advance! - Drew

series V, of course, im biased...but i think the five spoke look tops out all other wheels, i mean ****, their all jdm yoko wheels, how bad ass is that, but i think the five spoke look nice as ****, just get the series V, ull love em, espcially in gunmetal, i bought the gunmetal ones and i swear i couldn't stop staring at them when i got them, they at in my room, beutiful as hell, and i staired every five seconds........what happened to the series V u ordered? ude, orderfrom james, i had em in three weeks...

I still haven't recieved them yet from wheeloptions.com and it looks like it's gonna go onto month 5 with the Series 5 gun-metal rims. Wheeloptions.com keeps giving me the run-around. They're quick to take my cash but not quick enough to get me my wheels. Kinda getting sick and tired of the BS and so I'm looking at getting different rims that are available now.

I'm going to miss two shows this coming end of the month and first week of June.

BTW, are the gun-metallic Kreuzer Series 5 dark? Maybe post some pics of the rims because I'm trying to get an idea how it's going to look on my 03' Accord V6 Coupe in nighthawk black pear. Going for the dark look with the Accord

as nice as they'd both look i'm gonna have to go with the series X on the accord. They wouldn't work all that great on the prelude, but something tells me they'd be nice on the accord, just by judging how they look on that RSX. The accord and RSX are somewhat similar in shape so i think they'd work (i have that RSX with the series X on my wall right now) Two things though will definately make sure the rims work on your accord: get the honda body kit for the car, and drop it till there's no wheel gap...oh and if money's not a huge factor, get 19's instead...the accords aren't as small as they used to be. You may wanna check out the Volk CE28N's as well...those are 10 spokes too, very nice ones. I'm sure whatever you get will be pretty nice. I mean you're trying to decide between 2 really sweet rims, you can't go wrong.

^^ I'd rather have the volks (either CE28N's or the GTN's

) than the kreuzers.....but I'd definitely stick to the 5's in gunmetal over the 10's

the 10's look good on the RSX....but the 5's look so sick on that IS

BoYgUaN · 05-28-2003, 01:05 AM

stay with the 5
the 10 looks alil messy

What about these ones that you suggested for mugenpoweredlude?:

I think it'll suit the beefy body style of the accord very well.

azninside · 05-28-2003, 10:02 AM

^^ yeah, those are sick

get them instead

NoRice4U · 05-28-2003, 11:44 AM

^^agreed

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I forgot about the Advan Connoisseur however I wish they came in black chrome or a darker color. They come only in bright chrome, bronze, and silver metallic. I've seen them in bronze and they really don't good. I'm gonna check into that tho. I think the chrome would look nice on the Accord Coupe.

Yeah the Series 10 do look a lil busy. They do look good on the RSX. Again, thanks for all your inputs. I'll get back with ya'll on my decision. I guess I'm gonna sleep on it.

Why don't you powdercoat the connoiseurs as you did with those original rims you had for your accord?

D R E W · 05-28-2003, 09:34 PM

I know it's gonna sound funny especially since I'm dumping almost $3000 on wheels & tires but just to powder coat rims where I'm from it's gonna cost me $600.00 and the end results are never garuanteed.

Would bright chrome look good on a Nighthawk Black Pearl 03' Accord V6 Coupe???

The black car pictured with the Advan Connoisseurs have the bright chrome rims on it.

azninside · 05-29-2003, 12:23 AM

^^ you sure those are the bright chrome?

they don't look bad, but on the car, they look darker...maybe it's just cuz of the pic :

: are the silver metallic just like normal silver?

fifthgeneric · 05-29-2003, 03:42 AM

bright chrome = *bling* factor. I'm sure on the accord coupe it'll look great but it's gonna be flashy, and you may get tired of it.

That pic is totally misleading then. I can only imagine it in the daylight. IMO chrome =

I think the bronze would look "aight". Wasn't there a photo shopped pic of an accord coupe with the kreuzer V's on it in bronze?

Black chrome would be

though but I think the novelty will wear off. For me, less is more.
