But... you have paintd OEM rims...
NWS FTW
I gots a set of Advan
and a set of Gramlights
broke as hell but im "trying to ball on a budget" lol
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.

Convertible FCs did it right from the factory. BBS developed 11 pound meshies for Mazda.
This is my friend's FC with the vert wheel swap . Ithink it's one of the best OEM wheel swaps I've seen.
The Honda OEMS don't look too special to me, the polished blades can be kinda hot.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
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!!!!
most cars look better with oem rims.
oh lol at Rota. Yes, im one of the people that belives knock offs are putting good companies out of business.
the 96 itr are some great OEM...
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
SiNgLe SlAmMeR
its all according to the wheels..some no and some yes
DTF?KR3W!
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.............
-If You Own A Honda And Say "Headers", Go Jump Off Bridge...........
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
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...

oem rims ftw i will ride si's and gsr blades and fat fives forever
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.
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
Am I a fool for paying $700 for my oems?

But post said "OEMs"
The ones in your sig? I've seen e46 M3 wheels for $500 or less but if they are absolutely pristine then wouldn't be a bad deal.
I paid over a grand $$$ for my 12 year old stock wheels lol!! *sigh*
Well like I said certain people like different things and if you dont have the paper to buy some balling ass rims then,you work with what you have and paint them or polish them or whatever looks good to you,I got my super lights for 100$ bucks haha So I got some JDM wheels for 100$ and still will rock the fat5s til I and yes I said "I" get tired.This is how I got them
And This is how they looked when I was done
So would there be a rant about me painting these and polishing the lip on these next,Everyone has there own thing!Just like people with bodykits and neons...
So once again who Cares...I have had many people tell me my OEM Integra wheels that I Polished look nice even tho they are OEMS
1. It gets really old when people keep calling southside a thief, b/c honestly, they have no phucking idea! lol
Yay for Subarus! The stock wheels look descent plus mine only weigh 16.5 pounds.
LOL, you really dont know why people want OEM Rims do you, and your a tunner guy? Thers a reason why people are going back to the Factory style.....
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. No thanks looks arent everything its all under the hood my friend
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.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.

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 miss my car with respectable wheels.

BBS FTW
JACKMASTER
^ even BBS is an OEM for Toyota and a couple other companies. lol What about Enkei rims from Honda? I guess they're junk too...
There is nothing wrong with running OEM wheels. 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...
