Talking Noob here just saying what's up and got a question

Whats up guys and gals, new to the site.

I just bought a 1996 Acura Integra GSR VTEC 1.8 L

I used to own a Dodge Stratus that i kept sticking money into so i made the switch to Honda to solve that problem.

I actually dont have the car yet as its coming to my place this Friday the dealers calling me. Anyway i have already bought the Apexi WS II Exhaust system ( I read on here that is a good exhaust system and i searched around and found sound clips and everyone said that it was a good exhaust), also ordered a AEM clod air intake.

Question- Im lookin to get rims, now from some of you guys that have been around the website what kind of rims would you suggest that would be lightweight and the best for an integra.

Also do you guys go with 15 and 16 inch rim's with a little more rubber or lightweight 17's with low pro's

Any help aprecciated, Thanks for any help in advance,

Chris

off to a great start

depends how much you want to spend on the rims. i mean, there's pros and cons with any kind of rim (besides the look).

my reconmendation is get 16" at the biggest. there's others out there that'll battle it out, but that's just my 2 cents.

i used to have 17" but they were just too big, costly tires, harsh ride and too bulky.

i downgraded to a 16" rim (volk le-37 wrapped in bf goodrich kdw tires) and couldn't be happier

how much do you want to spend? is this a daily driver?

Thank for the info i guess so far so good,

yeah moneys not that big of an issue but some of the rims i was looking at were just outrageously priced. Also its gonna be a daily driver.

I also forgot to mention that its already got a short shifter in it.

So 16's with a little more meat around the rims,

Any other info is greatly appreaciated as well
-Also were do all of you guys buy you parts for your Integras, can someone list off some websites with good prices

as you can see, the 16" rims aren't too shabby.

i got those at a little over 1600 dollars. the tires were close to 600 bucks.

buying parts, i'd just stick to the local shops. if anything i shop at:

www.evasivemotorsports.com
www.jhpusa.com
www.aj-racing.com
www.passwordjdm.com
www.jdmtheory.com
