Wonderboy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 So today I bent the driver front wheel after hitting another monster pothole. I just bent the passenger front a couple weeks ago the same way and both rear wheels have been bent for a long time. SO needless to say, the car shakes like a mother fucker now. I was planning on replacing with stock wheels until I saw the price of them. I have found that a decent set of aftermarket wheels is probably gonna be cheaper than oem. I have already decided that if I do go with an aftermarket wheel that I will be lowering the car a little more so that it looks a little better than it did with my old wheels. My question fo ryou guys is what type and color of wheel should I go with? Im thinking gunmetal, silver, or maybe even bronze. I am sticking with the 17" and prefer a simple style wheel. Heres a couple that I pulled up from ebay real quick, if anyone has any recomendations please let me know. Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-XXR-WHEELS-006-CIVIC-ACCORD-LANCER-SENTRA-INTEGRA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3efc5bdb85QQitemZ270521850757QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-TENZO-R-WHEELS-DC6-V2-BRONZE-CIVIC-SENTRA-INTEGRA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3efcc388baQQitemZ270528645306QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-DR-17-WHEELS-RIMS-4-LUG-CIVIC-VERSA-SENTRA-MINI-NEON_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem27aedf4aacQQitemZ170437593772QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-inch-Wheel-Rims-4-lugs-Civic-Sentra-Lancer-Accord-XB_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem53dc995359QQitemZ360183321433QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Oh, and absolutely no chrome, except for the lip.

Mr. Jones Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Steelies... Cheap ebay wheels are going to bend even easier than your OEM wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 No offense but id stay oem rather then putting china bay XXR shit on any car. I kinda feel the same way, plus i do like the oe wheels but, i wouldnt mind changing it up a little bit. Im kinda bored with how it looks now. I considered getting the wheels straightened and powdercoated a gunmetal color. Im no longer at NTB. Im now at boyds goodyear in westerville. We dont really carry any wheels so I dont get the good deals that I used to. My buddy brought up getting the fn01rc's which i have always been a fan of. They have gone down in price quite a bit also, im really considering going this route. Derek, can you get any hookup on the fn01rc's? Im thinking 17x7 in gunmetal. Here are a couple pics of the car with my old wheels and before it was lowered. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/album.php?albumid=30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
