90IntegraC1 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 my wheels are e-bay wheels. they're awesome.
dohc1991integra Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 did u get them from a private owner or like a buisness...
90IntegraC1 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 business that specializes in wheels. Riax is the brand. Honestly, I've had tecks and mechanics take a look at them and they are great quality. $500 for the set, I payed a lot for tires b/c I wanted a really nice set, but you don't have to do that, although I'd recommend it...
dohc1991integra Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 what bolt patern should i look 4..i figure u know it
90IntegraC1 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 4x100 aaaaand, aftermarket wheels require aftermarket lug nuts, which are about $75 a set. most of the time you'll also need 4 wheel spacers for in between the lugs and the center of the wheel. Those are about $20.
dohc1991integra Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 i looked at some motegi riax wheels on ebay but they are all black and silver, i think i want a bronze wheel or i might settle for a all black wheel but im done for the night...ill continue tomarrow...
Fiji Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 man i just purchased a set of 18" sacchi wheels and they are no heavy at all i really like them
TS John Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Wanna buy my 4-lug 17" Motegi MR7s? They look like this:
airjordan223 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 wheelmax.com is where i got mine. lugs, wheels, and tires for like 650 or 750 shipped, i cant really remember. then already came balanced too
TS John Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 That's a good site. I just did a really nice package with nice 16s and Paradas mounted, balanced, with lugs and it was under 900 shipped. That's way nice.
dohc1991integra Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 wheelmax.com is where i got mine. lugs, wheels, and tires for like 650 or 750 shipped, i cant really remember. then already came balanced too man thats awesome. i must say u made an awesome choice on ur wheels. did u pay extra for the lugs and balancing? or is the wheels, tires, lugs, and balancing all included in the full price?
airjordan223 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 thanks man, i really like my rims. take your time when picking rims, because it REALLY stands out on the car. everything was included in that price
Humphries Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 a company named "Drag" same as nippon and rota have a lot of knockoffs (for example the Work equip 03's) they look pretty bad ass. and for like 350 dollars new thats pretty good.
dohc1991integra Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 thanks man, i really like my rims. take your time when picking rims, because it REALLY stands out on the car. everything was included in that price im likin these wheels...watta u think??? wow
airjordan223 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 im likin these wheels...watta u think??? wow those are nice. if you have a side pic of your car, someone could probably photoshop them onto your car to give you an idea of how it will look
Humphries Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 i wanted those for a long time on my accord.. i like gunmetal.
dohc1991integra Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 those are nice. if you have a side pic of your car, someone could probably photoshop them onto your car to give you an idea of how it will look i could have any wheels it would be these heres the best pic i have right now of the side of my car
Humphries Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 they look the same as mine, mine just look better.
dohc1991integra Posted December 8, 2006 Author Posted December 8, 2006 help me decide...bronze one is a 17" and the gunmetal one is a 16". is the 17 to big? they are basically the same except color (i know) but which one would look better
airjordan223 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 i think both would look good. a lot of people on here say 17's are too big, but thats what i have and they look fine. that one looks silver to me, not gunmetal
Joe W Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Another good site is WheelsNext They have a large selection and all packages come with mounting and balance, free shipping and handling, free rim repair, and free installation kit(lugs, valve stems, and locks). The prices arent that bad either from 600 to 1000 roughly.
TS John Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I like the smaller gunmetal ones. Or you could have gunmetal 17s and buy mine! LOL!
