So in the span of 4 days, i sold my old rims, and got new ones. I picked up a set of 17" Gramlights 57C's today fronts are 17X7.5 rears are 17X8.5 with 255 rear tires lol, rubs over big bumps but im planning on getting new tires soon anyways. Offset is +40. I like them alot more then my old set and i really dont mind that they're 17's. Anyways on with the pics, taken with a pretty crappy 5MP camera so dont mind the quality.

Personally I like them better than your old set up, 17s though, interesting choice.

swoleCL

Yeah, like em better than your old wheels, for 17s they look good, makes your car look more into the race scene versus "all show no go" scene

TypeStylinOnU

yup, these are obviously way higher quality wheels then my old ones. I drove around on steelies for a day so i was trying to find a nice set of wheels pretty quickly, and when i seen these i just couldnt pass them up.

rims look nice on that car...17's dont look as small when you have less spokes...

TypeStylinOnU

yea thats why i didnt mind them, when i tried them on the thin 5 spokes made the wheel look just right

Looks better than your old wheels.
I thought they were white looking at the first picture, lol.

swoleCL

lol thought they were white at first too (must be his flash) i was about to clown on him lol.

TypeStylinOnU

lol no they are definitely silver, the sun was behind me in the shot and it made them bright

First pic they looked white.

I agree that the wheels look larger with less spokes.

I like them better than your old set.

TypeStylinOnU

They would look really nice in 18's but this doesn't look too shabby at all. congrats dude



ps. did somebody say white wheels??

TypeStylinOnU

yea it was one of those things where i seen them, liked the price, and couldnt pass them up. I was allowed to test fit them, everything worked out so i grabbed them. My buddy has white rims on his civic lol i think it looks alright

black car white rims, can they both get along?

Black and white....hmm...look to the cookie.

Wheels look good, don't look too small either....or in the words of Jaysizzlecity...."sick". Must be nice on the roads around T.O. I try to avoid the 427 and gardner at all costs with 19s.

TypeStylinOnU

thanks, the lip is a prelude m type, and those wheels would be stock TL A-Spec wheels

TypeStylinOnU

hahaha yea man, we should do another meet soon, ill tell my CL buddies to come out

AcUrAge703

Did you have to do a lot of body work to get it on....i've been looking at your pics for a while now and love how it looks on your car...just wondering if it was as much work for it to go on then a tl lip...any info???

TypeStylinOnU

not much work at all but its a bit tricky to get it actually on the car. What i had to do was cut a V shape right in the middle of the lip on the underside, heated up the middle, and bend it. Then i made a slit on each side where the major curves are of the lip, heated the big curves up a bit and bent them out. To actually get it on the car took 2 people, bolted it in the middle first, and pretty much stretched the rest to fit. Next time id choose a different lip, i think the accords has a larger bumper then the prelude and would work better
