Western Finally Got a 5spd.

why swap lips if you have a fine color matched one? makes no sense.

Agreed! And to add, why swap the wheels when the wheels on the "new" one look 1,000,000 times better than the black ones? My goodness those wheels are a huge improvement.

I can understand the problem if the build is cheap. I didn't know if you were meaning poor manufacturing or poor output. I see where'd you'd want to stay stock with the new car until you can properly retrofit projectors in there.

Just skimmed your thread for pics of the wheels. Yeah, can't say I'm feeling them and being flat black isn't helping much. While they're clean, they just don't have any pizazz...don't really work with the car. You're lucky you have all the 5x114 wheels in the world out there though. I could make a million suggestions (not even expensive ones), but it's not my car

Honestly, I would like to know why you're not a fan of the wheels. What exactly is it about them? I'm not one for chrome/polished lips(In fact I really, really don't like) and black wheels are just my thing.

My question for this thread... and obviously a little late at this point... but why not just do a 5 spd swap on the original?

Because I'm at college and I don't have the time, space, money, or tools here to do a 5spd swap. I stay in a cheap dorm that's in the middle of campus, so there's absolutely no place to do it. Believe me, trading up was the best thing for me.

Why exactly do you not like the wheels? I'm really curious, just to see why people on here seem to think they, as well as my car, are the ugliest thing they've ever seen?

I'll give my honest opinion and I don't mean it on a personal level to you and it doesn't make me think any less of you. The wheels on Car 1 are just hideous to me because of the style AND the color. The black on that car just does not suit it at all. You can't see where the tire ends and the wheel begins. To me, it's just a terrible look. It's a cheap look. The rest of the car, I don't hate. I think a wheel change would really clean the look it does have up. The black lip isn't something that I would do, but it isn't the worst thing. I just think the car looks a little unfinished with the lip being black and the wheels the way they are.

Car 2 is about how I would drive that model Prelude. If I were to have a Prelude of that year, it would look just like Car 2.

Again, these are my opinions and should NOT affect your decision with the path of your cars, man.
