wheel problems, need advice - 12/6/2006 2:56:20 PM    scr1be   Posts: 3 Joined: 12/6/2006 Status: offline Hi everyone, I have a 1998 accord sedan, 4 cyl. My two front rims seem to be messed up because air keeps leaking out of the tires, but very slowly. goes from 30ish psi to 15 in about a week or two. The tires were replaced, but it still continued to happen, thus I think it's the rims. Regardless, I'd like to purchase new wheels. My question is, I found 17" wheels at www.tirerack.com that were 104 dollars each. They're called the Sport Edition F2. I don't know anything about wheels, and I was wondering if these were better in quality than my stock wheels? my current rims are a 15x6 alloy wheel, 5 spoke. (that's the most i know about it). here's link to wheel: http://shop.wheelsrims.net/images/products_small/keystone/aly63775u.jpg I'm scared to purchase the Sport's because of its price. Does the low price mean it's going to dent and bend if I drive over a pothole? If it's better in quality (it certainly is in looks) than my stock wheels, then I will definitely purchase them. Thanks for your help! Post #: 1

I don't care about the color, i just want decent looking rims, that won't break on me. You spent 600 on your rims. The rims I'm looking at will only cost a total of 450. I'm just not sure how much I have to spend to make sure I get decent rims. I don't want to spend only a little and not have decent quality rims. Should I spend at least 600? Can anybody recommend me rims for about 400 dollars that they KNOW is good? I want a 5 star or 6 star pattern. Similar to racinghart C5's. I don't like tiny spokes. I like them a little thicker. I guess silver or a gray would be a nice color. I'm open to any suggestions. If it's a rim you have on your car, i'd love to see a picture. (in reply to 02BlueAccord) Post #: 3

I've priced some with him, and he has great prices. Unfortunately, I have to wait til tax season to get my rims lol. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to 02BlueAccord) Post #: 7
