They're BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Honestly, I think they can be pulled off, but tend to give cars a very "I think I'm a badass, look at me" kinda look. But that's just me. They're nice rims though.

Repaint the whole rim flat black, including the rivets. The fake rivets don't look good and the two-tone glossy black with silver doesn't look that great either.

I hate fake rivets, therefore I say I don't like em. Look kind of ricey, get something more basic, less flashy.

ugly rims are not "proper"

let it be just another teg. trying to make it stand out can go 2 ways:

it's either gonna look ugly or you'll attract heat from thieves. if you get those rims, thieves will be all over it, saying "dayum dem rims is ugly. how stupid would i look if i got caught stealing those?"

As Danny.t said up there, spoon/slips/bbs rs are the way to go. Now the whole thing being jdm...blah Japan has rice too.
How about some gramlights? I believe there was a set floating around in fs section.

And by plain what I ment was not flashy to catch your eye from miles away but clean aftermaket rims that look simple and give the car a nice flow.

Man, get some flat black rims. And try and find something else. Your car is doing the stealth look with the tailslights and stuff, so try and match it with something more simple

I like all OEM Integra 15" rims, except for the snowflakes as they look like cheap wheel covers. The Meshies and Hammerheads are my favourite. The blades are good but look dated. Heck even these would look good on Integras: Honda Civic SI Rims 4x100 (Fat Fives) with 80% Bridgestone G019 - Toronto Tires, Rims For Sale - Kijiji Toronto

I say stick with OEM or get a set of flat black rims. Flat black, dull looking rims on a dark car with tints is what looks badass. Two-tone glossy black with fake rivets (the small bolts) looks 1995 and belong on suped-up Toyota Tercels.

ya i hate rivets too .. but going with the stealth look (Getting plain black rims) is boring

i wanted to bring some life to the teg.. oem is too small and i dont race, so i want 17 inches.. i dont want to be just another integra.. i want to stand out..

i was thinking about gun metal or black before.. but not alot of rims out there right now that u can pick up

i just like those rims cause they a;ready come with khumos tires and they rims are like brand new.. so if i get them less than half price i thought its a good deal

Meshies dont come in other sizes. Remember theyre OEM wheels on the LS.

IMO, No integra should have rims over 17. It just looks like a tank to me unless you lower it nicely. Stick to 15 or 16, with a nice tire size and keep the rims black or gun metal. your car is stealth man, you dont want 17's to lose that. After the rims lower the car man. The car will look NOICE

I'm kind of at a cross roads too on size. Im stuck between 15's and 16s. One size is for a different rim so its why im stuck

^^^ not to mention you'll have to be running super thin tires to maintain the ratio, which means that you can hit a big pothole and you may burst your tire, develop a bubble, or bend the rim!

Larger wheels mean more rotational mass (not necessarily weight, but moment of inertia). This means that because you are running a larger wheel, it will require more energy/force to make it rotate. Therefore, the larger the wheel/tire combo, the slower your acceleration. This is why people who "race" like lighter wheels that aren't too much larger than OEM. There is however a correlation with wider wheels resulting in better lateral handling, but with regard to acceleration...you will suffer with a larger wheel/tire combo!
