Wheel Opinion
 

Well I'm thinking of downsizing to save weight and increase comfort. What do you guys think of these setups.

My current setup... (19", 26lbs)

Attachment 23968

Possible new setup... (18", 18-20lbs)

I think u should go with the 18's they look better..... not sure if the extra 6 lbs will make a dif or not what kinda of rims are they?

RE: Wheel Opinion
 

I like the top ones better :D

RE: Wheel Opinion
 

I have a thing for black rims so imma have to vote for number 2

RE: Wheel Opinion
 

I like my current rims (#1) but 6lbs of unsprung weight on each tire is alot, not including the tires. That's approx. 42lbs. per corner w/o air (168lbs uninflated.) Also the further away the weight is from the hub (the bigger the rim) the harder it is for the car to turn...in other words it slows your acceleration more, that's not including the additional weight added. So a 20lbs 18" will accelerate faster than a 20lbs 19". Plus tires are just a tad cheaper.

True True u got a point there with the tires being cheaper lol i have black riums myself i like them they suit the car.... but i mean its gonna be preference really.... are u going for a classy looking car or a fast car? go with the 19s for the classy looking car but the 18s will be faster... why dont u go to a same style rims as the 1st one just in an 18 like a Konig or something BBS?

I keep finding more rims at great prices and it's driving me nuts...I want them all. I did find the ADR SZ1 (1st pic) in a black 18, good price too. I may get some 5zigen's though. I don't know, I'm gonna stop saying until something gets ordered.

RE: Wheel Opinion

RE: Wheel Opinion
 

what kind of wheels are those? and do they come in black?

RE: Wheel Opinion
 

Hi 6th Gen..
What part of Akron do you live in when you come home?
Would be great to put a face on your name for real after you get back, by the way ..where the H_ _ L are you anyways at this time??

The H.P Racing wheels have 2 wheels that come in 17x7 4on 114.3 with a +38mm back space and they come in Chrome, Silver, HyperLight, and HyperDark.
Two pictures for you to look at in these next 2 posts...

Tell me if you like them..

My offset is +42mm on a 7.5" rim...+38 is sketchy considering I don't have much room as it is. I plan to go with black and polished though to match my CF hood and trunk.

I'm grew up on the East side, but I'm in NC right now. I come home sparringly. There are quite a few Accord owners in that area. So I hope to get a cruise in before I leave or if I decide to stay.

RE: Wheel Opinion
 

If your're talking about mine then they're are ADR SZ1...they are now available in black.

IT'S PURCHASE TIME!

I can have my current rims remachined, painted, w/ new tires (needed) for the price of an 18" package.

or here's the options that I have narrowed down to...

Speedy Lite-5
