I hate OEM rims. (HONDA Rant)

[bigdare23]

I can't stand oem rims! Why do people waste their money and buy oem rims? You just paid $450 for a set of gsr blades WOOOPY! Do you know that you could gotten a set of used rota or drags for that price? $200 more dollars and you could of gotten a new set with tires. For $800-$1000, you could been riding on a set of balling ass rims, shit maybe even cheaper than that. Why do people rather waste their money switching between OEM rims and painting them? Bout time you buy all these sets of OEM rims and get them painted, you could of been riding on a set of enkeis, regamasters, volks, ssrs, bbs, or works.

How can you say you're modding you car when you're really not doing anything? Congrats, now your RS integra looks like a GSR, or you DX civic looks like a Si! Too many broke ass people trying to ball on a budget (if you even want to call it that). Then those "OEM ballas" have the nerve to hate on people that actually mod their cars with real shit with posts like "Your rims are too big" or "Should of just got the rotas, the look the same". Bitches STFU please. If your car looks like a car purchased from the dealer, you have no room to judge someone else car. Shit like this is killing the Honda game. All I can do is shake my head.

P.S. Stop wasting thread space posting pics of your damn civics and integras with HXs, SIs, Fat Fives, and damn GSR blades. We really don't want to see it.

[Revmaynard]

I think modded OEM rims look good. I want a set like I posted in the WL, but otherwise I agree. I went from my 13s to LS mesh, then to the gold mesh. I'm not planning on anymore rims that are OEM Honda to be on my car.

I agree. I'm not a fan of replacing one set of stock wheels with another. Hell I don't even really like when WRX drivers buy 2004 STi wheels (and those are even BBS).


"Should of just got the rotas, the look the same".

Haha, if you can find one instance of this on these forums you shall receive reps. I've only ever seen the opposite, "Why would you ever get Rotas when for only $800 more you could have gotten Volks."

umm yea. i dont see the point. walmart/rota/nippon>spoon. just as good n stuff. lot less money. maybe its cuz im a broke ass.

any ways postive reps to u for having some shit i havent seen b4.

[cactusEG]

Its true. U can find some nice rims(after market) for a lower price, than some OEM rims. But the only oem rims I really like are LS mesh...

[Acro]

I've got a set of OE Enkie's on my Miata. They have been painted gunmetal grey, and they only weigh 12lbs apiece. My slipstreams were heavier.

[81911SC]

I like a LOT of OEM rims. Not so much Honda ones but a lot of other manufactures vehicles look great with OE wheels.

I like a LOT of OEM rims. Not so much Honda ones but a lot of other manufactures vehicles look great with OE wheels.i think i actually agree with you. lol :eek: :goodjob:

[EJ_Allmota]

LOL.. i like this thread.. My brother and I are OEM Honda wheel whores but we also have after market wheels as well.. We own Polished SI's (which many people on here wanted to buy from me), polished blades, fat fives (that we have mounted on drag radials for those track days), and bronze LS mesh wheels..

As far as after market i have my OG San (polished the lips), and my brother has his Oldskools & LENSO's (slicks for who dont know).. There are more after-market wheels to come in our stable but i just love the freedom to switch my shit up when i feel like.. I honestly dont see the need to spend crazy money to get "REAL" wheels when you achieve the same look with the cheaper Rotas or Drags.. Some people do it because that what they wanted, others get the real wheels for the prestige or "respect" from people like yaself.. So its whatever..

[Romeo]

i agree with alot of you. but then again i love a car that's slammed on some OEM wheels. that doesnt mean they have to come on the car from the factory with those wheels. but something from that maker.

I don't mind swapping OEM wheels...the SI's looked damn good on my EK

but I do admit I would rather save up money to get some nice wheels

i like oem rims because the majority of "cheap" aftermarket rims look like absolute ass! oh and lol at this...


Bout time you buy all these sets of OEM rims and get them painted, you could of been riding on a set of enkeis, regamasters, volks, ssrs, bbs, or works

show me. you show me where you can get a set of volks, ssr's bbs's or works for $500. :no: aint gonna happen.

[southside]

Point blank I disagree because some oem wheels look nice with some work.But I would never pay over 200$ for some oem wheels.I got my fatfives for 85$ and with a lil bit of work they look decent to me

So I cant say I agree now paying outragous prices that is another subject ex.Dumbasses that pay 500 for blades.But me on the other hand I dont have money for aftermarket wheels So ill stick with just polishing the heck out of OEM for now

I think my main problem with "oem rim junkies" is... They tend to be quick to judge someone else car, who is doing more than them. If you're rocking oem rims, you have no place trying to diss someone because their Volks are 17's, or they have a body kit and boosted while you're still a single slammer. Stuff like that pisses me off. I shake my head at stuff like that.

[deerock]

I've got a set of OE Enkie's on my Miata. They have been painted gunmetal grey, and they only weigh 12lbs apiece. My slipstreams were heavier.

im with acro on this. for wheels on a budget i spent 75 and got full hollowspoke miata wheels that are 10.3 pounds a piece, not much better than that for the money, but OEM can fail sometimes, or it can work. its the owners choice.

I agree with you dude. I personally would rock OE's before replicas, but other than that, I agree. Great deals on classic wheels can be found, people just do not know where or how to get them most of the time, just like your Mugens and SSRs. You got damn lucky with those, but it is obvious you know where to look. :cheers:

[Papa_Smurf]

i agree with this statement 110%. I was about to buy some rotas after searching for weeks to find sum decent rims, and then darryl called me up and told me about these RPF1's on IA, and I went and picked them up that night.

Best decision i've made with my car, ever :goodjob:

just like i'd rather have rotas/knockoffs before spending $3k on baller rims just because other people will be impressed. they're DD rims. they're going to get scruffed.

[G.C]

I agree with you man. A lot of people out there paint there OEM wheel and think there balling or fresh and have this mentality that there car is the best out there. But the truth is, they just dont have the money to buy Brand name rims but they want to look different.

I agree with you there too. They talk bout how there car dont look right or they shouldn't have swapped there car and went turbo to make more power. Ignorant people like that makes me sick when they dont realize how much time/money/hard work they spent on it.

[Allstar3.8T]

different strokes for different folks.
IMO OEM rims are only ok on a modded car when on a vehicle other than what they came on. Ex; I like my 18" escalade wheels on my frontier, no one can figure out what they are from. But a 10=+yr old gsr wheel on a civic doesnt do it for me anymore. Its like getting worked up over 15" chrome cragar SSs that are 10 owners old on yet another camaro. About as fresh as a milli vanilli concert.
But whatever you like is cool w/ me....after all its your car.

[Got Milk?]

I agree with you. Now before anyone jumps on me and say that i have painted OEM rims, well i don't so stfu.

[spacelion]

preference.

But at the same time, people flip out when they see flashy painted rotas or anything with a polished lip. For me personally, the reason why I would (and will, when it comes time to buy wheels) get authentics is because there IS a difference in quality and integrity between the authentics and knock-offs. That is something I personally value, you may not and that is okay. Just like you said...preference.

I have nothing against stock wheels. I think a couple of them are actually really nice. GSR Blades and ITR got a nice look to them. But yeh, i rather save up a good bit of money and get a nice strong set of wheels.

right on man. i just don't see a point in buying expensive rims. concrete/rocks usually win in a fight against my rims x]

polished slips for the win lol

I like OEM wheels sometimes if that is all you can afford or if you jus have some to mess around with such as polishing/painting them. Like I want some lime green steelies again jus to put on every once in a while to change it up. I used to have hx's cause I didn't have the money to buy "rims" but I liked em and they were light so they worked. But you can still be "ballin on a budget" with some rotas especially some used ones which are around $400-500 w/ tires.

Not everyone is ballin like you Dare!!!!

[owweee]

the 96 itr are some great OEM...

[JDM SLiViC]

Strickly oem rims for me!!! But i wouldnt pay over 300 bucks for a set no matter what they are or how clean they are!!!
Now if i could afford mr5's id rock tha shit outta them. No doubt!!! Some of us aint balla's though lol

BTW whoever sold bigdare them mr5's got ripped another one lol

[BIGWADE]

its all according to the wheels..some no and some yes

[Turbodude06]

x2, but i agree with bigdare when he said people are haten on bigger wheels like 17's, 18's, and 19's +... as long as u do them right why hate on them just cause their not the borin a$$ 15's.............:goodjob:

[thinkskater]

17's bring the car up to much even hammered u can still get up under it. 15's just bring it down just right. thats my 2 cents.

[LIKEG6]

17's bring the car up to much even hammered u can still get up under it. 15's just bring it down just right. thats my 2 cents.

Depends on the car though

My EG sedan has 17's on it and they look perfect

Most new cars now have bigger wheels on it so putting small wheels on it look stupid

[speedminded]

17's bring the car up to much even hammered u can still get up under it. 15's just bring it down just right. thats my 2 cents.Wheel size has nothing to do with the height of the car until the diameter exceeds the size of original tire. You go up a size on a wheel then you go down a series in the profile BUT people are just too cheap or too dumb to buy the correct size tire.

A 205/40-17 is EXACTLY the same outside diameter and radius within hundreth's as a 195/55-15 therefore there isn't any change in the height of the car.


I'll just stick with my staggered OEM wheels... :tongue:

[JDMJAYDC2]

oem rims ftw i will ride si's and gsr blades and fat fives forever

[Dirty Octopus™]

ehh... im not gonna knock cars with OEM wheels because they CAN look nice. provided that they're a style that looks decent with the car. ive seen quite a few blades on cars that look pretty damn amazing. BUT i will NEVER break my neck trying to find an OEM wheel for damn near Rota prices. if you luck up on a deal cool. but if you can afford to go aftermarket do just that. :yes:

my Fat 5's back in the day only cost me $75 with tires. i didnt want to ride on steelies anymore so i got em.

some people nowadays spend $300+ on some OEM Honda wheels when they could spend a little more and get something SUBSTANTIALLY more tasteful AND aftermarket.

the thing is though... this sorta only applies to Hondas. Honda people take too much pride in their shabby OEM FWD Acura wheels. vdubs on the other hand can toss on some Benz/Porsche wheels and be da shit ALL DAY! because those European wheels have status AND offset :D

bigger rim screw with timing, and performances, yeah you can have big rims with the right size tires so it doesnt effect timing, but then you have to go lower profile which means rougher ride so you still lose something like a smother ride and now your rides taken a beating.

wth you talking about, no one said anything about bigger wheels. Its about driving around with stock honda wheels that not meant for your car.

My rpf1 weights about 5lbs less than stock si or gsr wheels, so what about performances now.

To get back to thread, I used to want stock si wheels b/c everyone them and it look pretty cool to rock wheel that was not meant for my car. Then I got my first set of enkei. I fell in love of with the fit and how my car looked with them. The second set of enkei was pure sex so I still have them.

i agree with bigdare 100%. i bought my ek and it had SI's and they were gone asap.

i got my car with stock si's and sold them 3 days after i got the car...

now i've got fat fives, had another set of si's also.. im a loser.

I'd be willing to bet that most of the folks that post up their "masterpiece SI rims" are under the age of 20 and don't have money to buy nice wheels, nor the experience in where to look for them... A LOT of folks up in Atlanta know about JHOT imports and how good the deals can get from them; i had no idea they even existed until D.O. (His Most Honorable Excellency) mentioned them to me one day.

And BigDare is talking about good deals can be found if one has the patience - what is one supposed to rock until they find their "Sweet Deal" on rims? stock hub caps? Why not snag a set of stock alloys for cheap, and fix them up a tad?

makes sense to me...

oem sucks period

[DC2NR]

I see no problem in oem wheels. I mean I understand the part about spending 450 for a set OEM compared spending another 100 bucks to get a set of knock offs. One thing I can't seem to be ok with is spending 1000-1500 on some baller wheels. I mean maybe if it was a weekend car with a self detonating bomb(when beind stolen), then I can maybe understand that.

I still think a cheaper knock off wheel or OEM wheels would suffice. I mean everyone has their own liking and you can't really hate on that. Cause in the end if you crash the the car/get in a wreck, or if it gets stolen, you aren't down 1500 bucks. Also not everyone has a money tree.

[vancem3m3]

I can't stand oem rims! Why do people waste their money and buy oem rims? You just paid $450 for a set of gsr blades WOOOPY! Do you know that you could gotten a set of used rota or drags for that price? $200 more dollars and you could of gotten a new set with tires. For $800-$1000, you could been riding on a set of balling ass rims, shit maybe even cheaper than that. Why do people rather waste their money switching between OEM rims and painting them? Bout time you buy all these sets of OEM rims and get them painted, you could of been riding on a set of enkeis, regamasters, volks, ssrs, bbs, or works.

How can you say you're modding you car when you're really not doing anything? Congrats, now your RS integra looks like a GSR, or you DX civic looks like a Si! Too many broke ass people trying to ball on a budget (if you even want to call it that). Then those "OEM ballas" have the nerve to hate on people that actually mod their cars with real shit with posts like "Your rims are too big" or "Should of just got the rotas, the look the same". Bitches STFU please. If your car looks like a car purchased from the dealer, you have no room to judge someone else car. Shit like this is killing the Honda game. All I can do is shake my head.

P.S. Stop wasting thread space posting pics of your damn civics and integras with HXs, SIs, Fat Fives, and damn GSR blades. We really don't want to see it.

[ythao7984]

my car looks like it juz came out of the dealership brand new mint (so what im not down with the rice scene) i like the OE look. and i am modding my car with performance parts ex: i/e/h, interior, lights ect... and still keep it unricey still looks stock but modded.and since i cant afford a jdm db8. hell it doesnt hurt to clone one. and a nice set of OEM type r wheels to go with. will give it the finishing touch. i'd never consider swappin oem wheels as modding my car. its juz that they look nice and clean. so my car looks like it was just purchased from a japanese dealership. dont get me wrong i like them baller ass wheels too. but it dont hurt to rock both them. OEM, enkies regamasters volks ssrs bbs or volks ftw.

[Volcom]

I like a LOT of OEM rims. Not so much Honda ones but a lot of other manufactures vehicles look great with OE wheels.
dude love your avatar nobama.

[slimm]

im partial to aftermarket rims myself. granted, oem rims have their advantages so far as keeping the jdm look and lighter than a lot of aftermarkets, but i still like aftermarket. personally, my rims have to be able to vote (at least 18s for those of you that are a little slow). there are many aftermaket sets in various sizes that are lighter than oem rims. they do cost a bit, but to me, its worth it. a friend of mine has a set of 19" centerlines that are only 7lbs each. a six spoke rim that looks great on almost any car. so, my vote is for aftermarket.

[Kevykev]

Need more poll choices!

Oem Wheels can make a car look great, however, damn those who call it "modding" when hey put LS Meshes on their Ex Coupe.

[VooDooXII]

I'm really picky about aftermarket wheels because I feel some just don't got at all with the rest of the car.

[jriley60]

aww i love my meshies : P

[eraser4g63]

i like oem rims because the majority of "cheap" aftermarket rims look like absolute ass! oh and lol at this...



show me. you show me where you can get a set of volks, ssr's bbs's or works for $500. :no: aint gonna happen.

I got my SSRs for $540 from Jarco... they are 17X7 and !&X8 and in really good condition.

[weaver89]

i have some polished fat fives with gold on the insides. and everybody that says they hate oem wheels like mine. ill post a pic of them up in a min.

[Master Shake]

i will be running some polished SI's, but there the only set i got besides steelies. and they're 15's, i don't like anything like 17's or that shit. wheel is too big for the car imo.
15/16's are good for me cause i can still run some good tires without having to go with low profile and i don't feel every bump in the road.

[RL...]

big wheels with low profiles always look better then 15's with a big sidewall.

ALWAYS.

But there is a point where a rim can get too big for a car...

[Christopherr]

I spent $800 for my OE Speedlines.

Admittedly...some OE wheels are boring. Others...are very nice. This argument is mute...you're saying that all OE wheels suck. They don't... If they do, are you implying that AM wheels are the junk? Playing devils advocate here...

[Okie_doke.]

aww i love my meshies : P

Me and you both bro:goodjob:

[Master Shake]

big wheels with low profiles always look better then 15's with a big sidewall.

ALWAYS.

But there is a point where a rim can get too big for a car...i disagree.

15's with good sized tires, not some fucking huge ass fat fuckers.
like maybe some 205/55's
not like some 205/65-70, cause thats too big.

and with a honda, 17's are pushing it for being too big.

[Benefit]

wut about my stockies :)

[MyTurboTegra]

I like both. For my boosted car I have 15" rota's and 17" prolines. I switch between the two depending on what the car will be doing (car show, drag racing or mountain run. I have painted HX's on my EF and they look much better than what came with the car. I get compliments all the time on how clean it looks. Has a lot to do with the OEM rims. A lot of people don't even relize they are OEM as I took off the Honda caps. So I like both as long as A. it looks good and or B. serves a performance gaining fuction.

[Bus Driver J]

My interpretation of the whole thing is dont talk mad shit about your "new" wheels when all they are are stockers. If you just rock them for DD then whatever but dont go on blast about your "new shoes" when all they are is a set of OEM wheels.

Sometimes stock wheels just set a car off really good.

Polished blades would've set my integra off REALLY nicely, but any stock wheels looked lame on my hatch. Same with my datsun; the 5 slot mags were a dealer option for the Z cars, but they look great on my car regardless. I think it just all depends :2cents:

[FasTech]

I do not see how I over looked this thread.... but my opinion... I think buying Aftermarket wheels make alot more sense rather than buying Honda OEM wheels for about the same price. Even if they're off-brand wheels. Yes, some cars do look alright with OEM wheels but I'd much rather have some Mugens or Sprints.


BTW Bigdare... Your car is just toooo damnnnn loud, son. lolol Heard tha shit at the V-meet this past thursday and thought my damn ear drums busted...LOLOLOL.

The first and only set of wheels i've put on my civic since i've owned it (been 8 years now, 7 with the wheels) are GSR fat fives. I recently stripped the old nasty clear coat off and started polishing them a little. I paid $250 for them with good tires 7 years ago.

I love them. Would only swap for some rota attacks.

What about people that don't think Blingin' wheels are that important? my car came with a factory package with a 16x8 front and 16x9 rear and these are perfect for any tire combination i could ever wanna run. These wheels can be found for like $250 a set. I feel that putting $3,000 wheels on a car that's only worth $2,000 if it gets totaled is kinda silly. Having invested $2750 into wheels doesnt make the car any faster.

*shrug*

as we SQ ppl say.... just my 2.6 cents

So you're telling me that no matter what, you wouldn't put a set of Volks, or BBS wheels on your car, just because the factory wheels fit right? And last I checked, any time you can reduce unsprung weight, it DOES make the car faster. If you think they are too expensive, and the stock wheels work fine, then I absolutely understand, but you cannot convince me that you would rather have those stock wheels than the wheels everyone else drools over. I just don't buy it.

If someone came to me with a set of Volks that are the correct offset and said i'll sell you these for 250 or you can buy these OE wheels for 250.

I'd take the volks. ofcourse.

But in reality, i'm not gonna spend 2400 on wheels and another grand on tires when i could spend 3400 on coilovers/bigger turbo/forged pistons/etc...

I'm just saying i could get alot more bang for my buck then dropping money on $$$ wheels.

Of course you could but this thread is about wheels, not about getting the best bang for your buck on other mods....so your point is pointless here

If you actually had money then you probably would spend it on volks rather than riding on stock wheels, I mean a big part of modifying cars is to set yours apart from every other on the road...blending in is no fun....

The post was about buying OEM wheels vs, buying aftermarket wheels. So I was specifically discussing OEM vs. high-end wheels. And my opinion was for a car that has weird offsets, such as mine, the cost of an aftermarket wheel far outweighs the benefit or joy of having pretty wheels.

EP3- I can certainly understand that mentality. If performance on a budget is the idea, then absolutely. However, in your case you aren't judging anyone else for having high end wheels calling them stupid for it, because THAT is what makes it so annoying ya know? Why should the guy who can't afford my wheels/car have any say about my wheels/car?

oooh okay. yeah yeah. agreed. well put

[jvladamir]

I DO like some OEM wheels and they are often a better choice because of the high build quality and standards they are held to compared to lower end wheels. Used OEM's and used older JDM imported wheels are my favorites because their cost has dropped but they still have quality and strength. here are some that i have owned for my 240 for both street and track and they have served me well. the most expensive set cost $450 and they were for lightweight/ to fit lug conversions / i liked the style/ good deals/ brake clearance / spares / whatever reason. It is all about what YOU like and what YOUR purpose is.
these have included:
lancer OZ rally wheels
polished stock s13 7 spokes
work eurolines
veilside andrew racing V
work ryvers
mustang cobras
FD rx7
gewalt meshies
BRS poisons
s14 stockers

OEM truck wheels is classic in minitrucks. guys have been running z71 wheels on there hardbodies since the 80's. my titan wheels on the frontier are sweet, i looks like some sort of special factory package.

its a love hate thing for me....i love the ls meshes and the white type r's but i dont care too much for blades and si's are ok but i recently bought some circuit 10's...but mostly it depends on the car its on.

[trini_gsr]

oem is cool as long as the wheels are clean and the fitment/stance is on point. i personally like polished fat fives and si's best. it's a good way to make a car look good on a budget. not really a fan of seeing oem wheels painted though, they never seem to look right.

i prefer aftermarket just because you have a lot more options...and for db8s, oem wheels are just too small IMO.

the way i see it.... there's a reason aftermarket rim companies stay in business... because OEM rims suck balls. just my opinion... i don't even like hondas anyways much less their rims.... seen some sick ones though with aftermarket rims

I fucking love my blades!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[BrakeExpert]

He's right. So many guys spend MORE money on USED factory wheels than new ones! And factory wheels that we all see and know seem to have crappy offset, tucking under the car for aerodynamic reasons and MPG, but what you want for performance is wider wheels with more offset. Wider tires, wider track. There are thousands of aftermarket styles of wheels, thousands and thousands. Why stick with boring ones everyone else has that are boring and ugly anyway when OEM wheels are just a sliver of the choices out there. And as for the small factory ones, ya still got the big, flexing sidewalls. Honda has made VERY VERY few good looking wheels. Most suck. And the old Mugen wheels that look like 80s hub caps from old Accords and Camrys...they aren't rare cause they are cool or light, they are rare cause they were ugly back then, and putting em on a newer car doesn't help. Plus also for performance, small stock wheels suck for allowing bigger and better brakes.

I'm not looking for functionality I just like what I like to ride on.

[OldSchool87]

Its all about what looks good to you i geuss but fat5's and blade swaps are played out.... but if they are lite than they serve a function and thats what matters.
now Kckouki on the other hand with his R34 wheels on the Kouki S14...That shit is hot.
