Default Wheels and a drop, whadda ya think

I'm thinking about getting some good springs, and putting the wheels on the prelude on the IS, since we will be trading in the prelude for a g35 6spd. tell me if you think the wheels look ok on the car


BTW, they are 18x7.5" with 235/40 tires, and a 40 offset

well, I tried it out, I don't think the offset looks right for that type of wheel, so instead, I'm gonna save my pennies for some SSR gt3 wheels

pssss.....its photoshopped.

I dont dig the 6 spokes on the is...at least not that 6 spoke. Personally my favorite rim is the RacingHart C5, and for the black is's, powdercoated black. its awsome, just sorry i never came by them before i bought mine. but mine are decent too, they just are not a racing rim.
