They're nice rims, but they only come in the 5 bolt pattern in the 18 inch rim...the 17 inch has a 4 bolt pattern. These rims look great, but i don't feel that they're practical on the prelude....trust me i have the 18s now. 1. 18s are always a liability for preludes...depends on whether or not you want performance or looks. for performance an 18 inch rim with 215/35 tires are smaller than stock spec and 225/35 are larger than stock spec...either way a minus in the performance column. 2. These rims are not that strong, they bend easily...i've been very careful with mine and one rim has already 'egged'...i wobble at 80mph. If you are purely show and no go, then these rims are perfect...however, if your lude is a daily driver/weekend warrior, you should be looking into 17s. Granted these rims are very affordable at less than $300/rim, but you get what you pay for.

Has anyone seen the bronze ones in person?

I posted a pic of the bronze CP-10 last week. They are extremely dark. I would never consider putting them on a black car.

I can't find the other one... just do a search for it, but here's a second pic to give you an idea.

You can't even make out the wheels.

I was planning on getting them in white and then getting them powdercoated a dark gunmetal when I get my car repainted, possibly S2000 silver. Its black now. I think black cars look pretty good with white wheels. But I'm thinking it would be a watse of money to spend the money on wheels and them have them painted over. I'm confused.

I want wheels!

I've seen white rims on a black car. My friend has a Civic EX 4 door, he's got it slammed and he's got Rota's on them. They're 17" white fivestar type rims and they look sweet! I think the rims make that car. The spokes are white and the rest of it is silver. If I had a pic of this guys car I'd post it but unfortunately I do not.

But..white rims CAN work on a black car.

SlntSam · Apr 4, 2001

Actually if you're interested...I could take a quick picture and send it off to you. The rims don't look like the ones you wanna get but you'll get to see white rims on a black car?

I dunno, sup to you

That's kinda my point... they're so dark you can't really see any detail. I know this rim thing is very subjective, and I dont' want to hurt anyone's feelings... but you would have to buy the rims for me and pay me several thousand dollars to put those wheels on my car... and if I had a black car you'd need even more money.

smoothludey · Apr 4, 2001

It's something that grows on you like the 5gen...how many people liked it when it first came out? The same is with my wheels...my friends thought i was on crack for getting them, but now after a month they're starting to like them. It's true that the detail is hard to make out at night, but in the daytime it looks really cool...besides, they don't have that much detail to them to begin with.
