they look pretty good:thumbsup:

Hey those look nice.. how much are they?

[Phats]

they are 220 each from tiretrends

Possibly consider a bigger size. You may regret it in the future.

[Phats]

why do you think that?
btw, i like your sig weapon R

yeah...go 17's at least, I used to drive a 90 Integra LS and they have a really big wheel well, you'll probably want to buy lowering springs if you don't already, and fitting 17's with the lowerd stance will fill the wheel well gap perfectly. You'll probably regret buying 16's after you see how they look on the car.

[ConVict]

Most cars come with stock 16's now... I say go 17 at least if you want to look up and above stock...

[91_Integz]

What color is your car?
They look pretty sweet but i would also go with 17's. It will look better.

[jaylo]

17" is the only way to go, 90-93 integras have too much of a wheel gap to start with. I suggest that before you buy wheels do up your suspension first and go from there. You won't believe how tall the car will look if you just put 16" and not lower it.

[Phats]

hmm, i see, thanks for the advice all

The reason I say this is because you need to be pretty sure with what you want.

If you're concerned about weight, 17" and above isn't the way to go. But if not, go for the biggest size you can possibly afford.

I picked up a 16" size last fall, but I regret not buying the 17" because there is a lot of wheel gap (not yet lowered). Since i'm not into a whole lot of racing and saving weight etc, I would have gone for the 17's now if I had the chance to do it again.

[92 Teg-B18A]

definately 17's man, that rim might look too small as a 16 because of the chunkier spokes

[air_mikey]

i agree with the everyone else. go for 17" or bigger. thos rims are pretty nice too.

[04blackMAX]

19's hahahah

[special blend]

They look good man but I also suggest going with a minimum 17 rim.

Take care of the wheel gap first. Do your suspension first if you haven't already done so. The late 80s and early 90s Acuras/Hondas have huge wheel wells.

A larger wheel equates to a smaller sidewall, and a smaller sidewall means your wheel gap looks bigger. I did wheels before suspension and regretted not doing it the other way around.

Just wondering why this would be the case? I mean, wouldn't it be a better indication to put the tires on first, and actually see how many inches a car can safely be lowered without the rubbing etc?

That's what I did, and did they ever look shitty on a stock suspension! You've got sound reasoning, but you'll have to live with the stock suspension height until you can do the suspension. Ideally, do both at the same time.

This is my logic: First drop the car to the height you want, then find the wheel/tire combo to fit. Then you don't end up buying the wrong size or offset that may fit the stock suspension, but won't fit after the drop.

Fair enough, but then again, you could buy the wheels, put them on, and measure the amount of room you have and get a drop that is consistent with that :).

Same difference I guess...It's much easier to exchange springs than it would be to exchange wheels/tires

[Phats]

damnit, I just found out that those rims don't fit my car in 17's, at least they don't post ones on the tiretrends site, maybe I can still get them though, have to call around a bit to see

Very nice

Do you care at all about performance? If you dont yes go ahead and buy them in a bigger size and make the car look nice...However if you do care about performance then stock size with a bigger drop would be best...That is because the bigger the rim you get, the more torque you lose. That might be important considering honda engines aren't anywhere close to torque beasts...I'd think about this before i'd get my rims, coz almost everyone forgets this and there is no way around it :thumbsup:
