im bored. let's start a wheel thread? *maxim pic semi warning*
Ok I'm bored and i know we haven't had a wheel thread yet. I saw it on honda-tech awhile back and was just wondering what wheels you guy's are riding on? as well as tire brand and size.
ill start first.
my tires- Kuhmo 711's went wit a 205/45/16 i thought 40's were too thin, rode too rough. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...o/DSC04629.jpg
rims-always wanted these had to save shitload for them, work emotion cr
heres a teaser. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...o/0fb26eec.jpg
My opinion is 16's are a perfect wheel for any honda/acura i feel 17s are too big, and 15's are too small for the street's. That's just my opinion. Anyway's post some pics of your wheels, and tires. ok thanks.

I hate the owners for the people that buy them because of the sticker price.
Mainly price though. I know they're light and all, but if you buy imitations and use the left over money for engine mods, you'll run better numbers on any type of race. regamaster Evo's, Spoon, Nippon Wheels, Rota Slipstream, they're all good, I only hate hypocritical comments by people who waste their money to get some dudes from somewhere in the states on some site to tell them they're cool because they have an expensive part.
I know a lot of people are fans of black, but I think it makes the car look worse. That's my opinion, I know many people can argue that for 30 pages of this thread. I just think when someone says a retarded fucken comment about someone elses car and they're being hypocrites, they should shut up that's all. I don't need to own rims to post post on a thread tittled "let's start a wheel thread" and have some jock tell me I don't own any of them so I'm "killing the thread by posting pics of rims I DONT have......." when the jock himself is posting rims HE DOESNT have, and tries to put me down to make himself feel better. That's all
Sorry if I offended anyone with the previous comments I made.

Obviously I dont have those rims I posted you dumbass, theyre in response to Jeff's reply. Hence the S2000 content.

when it comes to rims, i'd personally get either A) stockers or B) spend the money on name brand rims. why? take a motegi rim, and a forged Volk or SRR or whatever rim, hit a pothole and see which one stands up.

true honda enthusiasts and aficionados put real wheels on their car, not rotas.

Rotas are cheap, pretty light, and get the job done.
Id rock a set.
BUT i hate rota owners who knock on the real rims. your buying rims that copy the style of the real ones so how can you hate on a guy for buying the real ones. Its their money. If you want to spend your money on "engine mods" then thats good for you, but not everyone is trying to build the fastest car on the block.
I dont understand all the hating.
Its like having a RQLEX and thinking the guy wearing the ROLEX is an idiot for paying soo much. shoot they both tell time dont they?
knock offs
real rims
using knock offs and hating on real rims(which style your trying to copy):hay:
