I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

The SSR competition is available in a 4X114.3 bolt pattern.
17s are going to be in the triple-your-price-range though so don't bother..

yeah same thing with the volks/advans as the SSR, even when i find them they are either already sold or someone is asking to much. I have seen good reviews about the buddy Club stuf and they aren't that bad in price so i will likely go with those. I am stil going to call tire rack and see if they can get 16 or 17" SSR comps in my bolt pattern though. Hopefully they sell them around the same price as what they sell them at now for the 5x114 the newer preludes run. Stil about $400 a wheel but i could do that as long as shipping isnt to insane. Would love to do a 5lug conversion to have my options open up alot but by the time i pay for that including front/back and all the brake stuf i wont have the money for wheels:P

I graduate next spring so once im out of school i would expect to have a better job and more resources to do more to the prelude.

SS, dont worry about it. i know your intentions were good just with all the frustration i have had trying to find wheels your post kinda got to me. Thanks for the help though:up:

You can afford $400 a wheel, and you can't find what you need?

That's more than I've spent on the wheels I've gotten. You need to better tap into your car's scene and get connected with people who can get you what you need.

haha, thats one of the reasons why i joined this site and any other honda site. either way going to school sucks and no one in this town has a decent car and anyone with a honda in this area for some reason has aluminum spoilers, half painted body kits and/or chrome rims on their honda. It makes me sad i left Rochester. either way not trying to put down the NY scene but having seasons like winter and being known for salt and rusted cars doesnt help us much. Either way as i've said before the bolt pattern has been my problem 90% of the time. I know people but stil doesnt mean everyon has a connection for wheels up here.

Cacky is helping me out though and has a set of gold TE37s i will likely get...

originally i also didnt plan on spending 400 a wheel (pretty much wanted to spend half that) but i can afford up to 400 now for this spring.

hmm, i dunno, would have to check what you sent, my message box was filled so i saved it all to html format and emptied it. either way bronze/gold is close enough and the picture actualy looks like they are a little brighter than a bronze so is why i said gold.

AFAIK Lenso's are a decent company
A LOT of guys running the VPD's on high HP drag cars.
