FW Wheels
Thinking about getting new wheels. How hard is it or how much, is to get decent ones? I have 16's now but I think AM wheels dont look good that small, have to buy all new tires if I upgrade right?
Seen wheels for around $3-400 a set.

$700 is a lot for four tires... that is what I meant... plenty of good tire options for less money... I just don't want you to scare him away from the wheel thing :)

I am ordering from Discount Tire and dropping ~$1400 on the set... I wanted something light weight and strong... to save some $$$ you can also look into Rota and Konig wheels... both reputable companies with nice looking wheels... mine will be a set of Enkei wheels... I have not seen a car with the exact wheels I am getting yet... so maybe it will be a first for the area.

Gotta love Enkei, Honda wouldn't use them if they weren't reliable...

I also agree $700 is a LOT for a set of tires. You can get a great set of all seasons for ~350, or a nice set of performance tires for ~500-600. That's 17" wheels though, bigger the tire, bigger the price of course.

How much are you wanting for them? I am up in the air about ditching my 18" HFP rims for some stock Si rims... just looking for the right set...
