I've decided. I'm gonna go with the Gramlight 57S in silver. I appreciate everyone's input, but I REALLY like them and have since I first saw them and I think silver would look great with VSM. It's hard to find guys on H-T with tinted windows...I guess it isn't JDM enough.

You know, I just noticed that the other day.

Being in shade> being JDM.

Nice choice in wheels. I'm not able to afford nice wheels; so I rock OEMs.

Dude that's what some buddy's of mine have been trying to convey to these people. www.machiii.net sells the gram lights for ~$200 a piece. That's ~$800 for all 4 since it's free shipping.

Why drop $500 on Rotas when you can save up another week or so and buy yourself a set of real wheels?

And yeah someone on H-T actually told this dude to lose his tint. Ok you're a fag.

I've known about mach-iii.net... didn't know that Gram Lights were that cheap, well ya..you get the picture. Only way I'd get Rotas, if they were for sale for CHEAP... like 200 bucks and tires.

Your gonna make a cool ass Honda owner... make sure you rock the nuts on the tow-hook.

I'm just trying to do everything right that's why I'm looking for help from my friends. Scott (zeropsi) and John (signifcntothr) have really been helping me out. Shit there was a time I knew more about Honda's than the vehicle I drove.

I know you have your mind set on the Gl's...not bad lookin. But please reconsider them in gold. Gold/silver combo is the nicest combo around.
That being said...all those wheels are kinda common and dont give the wow factor.

If it were me I would get these of the wheels you posted



But this is WHAT YOU NEED TO GET



Some other favs of mine

Enkie JSPEED2
These are 880 for the set on takumi




these are also 880...


I would def consider getting a set of used super high quality multi piece forged wheels over lesser more common new wheels....just a suggestion

Default Re: My turn for wheel opinions.

Here's my opinon. I have respect for you and your decisions on cars/wheels you made, but here's how I look at it. It's a Honda. I don't want to spend tons of money on wheels that's why I'm looking for something in a certain price range. I don't feel the need to get multi-piece forged wheels to drive from my house to work everyday. Maybe if it was a track car it'd be a different story.

Also I hate red and almost hate every "old school jdm wheel". It's 2006 not 1976. No offense, but I don't like the whole red fad and I don't like old style wheels.

I'm not building my car for the JDM retards on H-T to drool over it. I'm building it for me. And yes I did ask people's opinion and I value that, but I'm just telling you certain wheels I DO NOT like.

Thanks for your input though.
