If you're curious those are 95 Integra GSR 15" alloys with 205/50/15 Falken AZENIS.

They're alot lighter and a shorter overall diameter so it helps my accleration ALOT.
Not to mention these AZENIS are INCREDIBLY sticky, i'm very impressed.

I think I got a good deal, I traded my Buddy Clubs for these wheels/tires + $600 cash. I actually MADE money on the deal if you think about it because these are worth about $500 and I only paid $649 for the Buddy Clubs & $356 for the tires (not to mention i got 10 months use out of them).

Wish i didnt have to sell them, but my pockets were hurting and i'm still unemployed.

That's a bitchin' ride you got there. I don't know what the Buddy Clubs looked like, but those rims look real good.

[wishin' I bought an Si instead of a Matrix...]

The silver of the new ones looks better. I'm not crazy about gunmetal on blue.

I think 98% of people would disagree, but you know what they say, "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one"...haha.

For stock rims they look ok i guess, but gunmetal on blue is the way to go...fo' sho'.

I think they're a little too busy. Bitchin' aftermarket wheels look great on a show car but most people don't do a full kit, etc. I see a lot of cars that scream, "Hey! Check out my wheels!" They don't flow with the rest of the car. They're a distraction. A lot of times OEM rims look better to me, if the rest of the car is essentially OEM. I think those GSR rims match the rest of the car's understated appearance much better.

But, hey, that's just my probably weird opinion.

yeah, the GSR's do go with the car, but I don't like them. I was totally diggin' your buddy clubs man

i think u're utterly wrong. just cuz you have aftermarket wheels, u need a super duper crazy body kit? and ur logic is.. if the rest of the car is oem, keep the wheels oem? then should we keep our exhaust oem if the rest is oem? etc.

i think they look great - so much better than the stock 15's. What's the deal, are you selling them already - or is someone just pimping out your picture?

i agree the 17 are to big.. i have 17 s with 45 series tire, and they doslow the car down some.. i just took them off and put stock back on ... its made a difference. all though it doesnt lay in the turns as well as the 17 s did. the pick up is better. and that with lowered suspension, and thats with upper rear front strut bar and lower tie bar. so i think 16s with like 50 or 55 series tire would be perfect. so in the spirng ill be looking for a pair of 16 s hopefully oem honda rims. which are hard to come by .. i should have went with 16 s in the first palce..



oh ps they are for sale if anyones interested. got pics

They look great, nice wheels, and a good choice of tire. In 15's you can afford to use those Azenis like they are meant to be used, too. ;)

I dont hate big wheels, I like em, but I chose to put the price of tires and the wieght of wheels over the looks when I bought mine too. Im totally happe with my 15's - no regrets.

No, they werent stolen.
I needed money to pay my mortgage (still unemployed) so I had to sell them.
Basically got what I paid for them brand new, so it's OK.
I'm happy w/ these wheels & I'm happy that my mortgage got paid.
