I have a purplish-champagne 93 EX 4 door, and I want to get some different OEM wheels for it. I'm thinking of either getting the 2nd gen Altima SE/GLE rims (6-spoke brushed aluminum, spokes at an angle, full lug cover, 15x6.5 I believe), the fake Civic Type-R rims (on Ebay, basically Civic HX rims in white), 1st gen Legend wheels, or possibly some 6th gen 4cyl wheels.
Ultimately what I want to do is paint them either dark gray or my car's color, and match stuff like the front lip and the Erebuni rear spoiler accordingly. Somehow I don't think my car will look good with silver or white rims...what do you think I should go with?

OK...I've decided to go with the stock rims, and get some bigger tires (195/65--->205/55 or 205/50). It would be better for me to get a drop before new wheels. I'm probably still gonna get new wheels just to switch it up though, and I'm bored, so here are some wheel pics:

I'll be honest though...if money gets better, I'll probably get these (note the misspelling) in 17x7...although I think it might be cheesy on my grocery getter...:

SPOOM! That just made my day!
Really, rock the Spoom just because, out of all of them, it shows that you don't take yourself too seriously. I love it!

Yeah man Exel is like the Payless shoe of rims...they have pretty much all the popular rims for decent prices. I think R1 Racing has a lot of Volk stuff too, their ads even look the same...pretty funny stuff.
Those would be way down the road though, and only for 'show' (unofficial import 'meets' in bk on weekends), as they would just kill everything...alignment, ride, acceleration...you name it. I imagine that since they're imitations they're mega heavy. They sure do look sweet though. I wonder if I could get a Spoom window decal, or it I can get any of their engine parts...hmmm...:laughy: :boink:
