Need Rim Ideas A.s.a.p.
Okay I have Kumhos on my factory 5 star Acura rims. My ride is a 94 Gold/Champagne 4 dr sedan. Well after about 1 year of having my kumhos my alignment kept getting so bad (thanks to our pothole ridden roads) that the inside ONLY the inside of my tires are wearing so bad the canvas is starting to show in some spots and ride is startin to feel real bad. Im afraid my tires are gonna POP! in perhaps another month. My promise to myself was as soon as these tires are gone I was gonna get some rims. Im so tired of crappy 15" rims.
THE TIME HAS COME!!!
So I was wondering if you all good give me an idea on some rims. 1st I like some 5 starr patterns but not too much into the racing rims style. Since I carry my 2 kids and wife very often I dont (hardly) ever race anyway, so weight is not a big issue. I like Bling Bling alot of chrome shiny as hell. I like both closed and open patterns. So far I have my eyes set on LEXANI Krystals, & Concept Neeper Haaz and some Lowenharts. Also since I am doing the tire thing Ive decided to swap out my F***ed
suspension and throw in some Koni shocks and some springs. The end result is I want my ride to sit on the tires. I want NO wheel to fender gaps. So far Ive set my budget not to exceed $3000. Think I can get what I want with that amount of $$$? Some suggestions please Im plan on making my purchase this Friday! Thank U:2cool:

These might suit you, and get a set of Ground Control Coilovers and Koni Shocks, and you are in there
How about Racing Hart M5, Ace spades, Axis Hagen, I could go on and on and on. But theres a link somewhere here on the forums that list Alot of rim websites. Check it out and see if you find what your looking for.
Is 3000 dollars your wheel and tire budget? or is it your lowering/wheels/tires budget? If 3000 dollars is your wheel and tire budget I have some suggestions. Lowenhart BR-5, Racing Hart C2 3pc and M5 3pc. Auto Couture Supreme BR's, Work Rezax II, Volk GTNs and III's, SSR GT3's, Weds Kranze Shoki, and that about all I like for that price. Ill post pics if you want.

If I were you I'd start off by doing the springs and koni's so you will know exactly how low it will be and make sure to do it with a full tank of gas so you'll have a better idea of how its going to sit down on a larger load. Once you have that balanced out to your liking I'd then go do the tires/wheels. I have 225-55-16's on the GS and they do a nice job of filling up the wheel well without being too wide. I'm sure you are more interested in a low-ish profile though. I'd prob go with a 225-45-17 if thats your mission, I'm not sure how close that tire size would be to your stock tire size, but there is a website out there that will do the calculation for you, I think its on the mr2.net site or something, been too long since I've been there.
its not the tires that will get you, it is the OFFSET and Tire combination that will.
You want to go with a MINIMUM of +42mm offset. Now, the optimum is +46 or higher to avoid scrubbing.
Do a search of a thread called 'will this rim fit" by roger or jewelrz. We had this debate last two weeks ago
