What do ya think? 17" Katana Concept Fives. It took a little longer to get to me than I would have liked, but here they are. They got held up in customs coming off the boat or something. Oh well.

:) I'm glad you guys approve. I've been looking for wheels since last September. It took me awhile to find the ones that I thought would look right. Now its time to start painting the calipers and paining the old rims. They were pretty chewed up. They'll make good winter wheels though. I want these kept looking nice. They took my detail budget down to about $200 for the rest of the year. lol Time to get cracking again to make some bucks or else I'll be starting out at zero for next year. :scared
 
Looks like rice... I mean looks good Jngrbrdman!



I saw an accord, i think, with those same rims here. They looked pretty good. I like the design around the edge.

Wow. Now that's original. I've never heard that one before. ;) j/k man. lol Everybody tells me that. I sort of like it the way that it is. My last car was lowered and when I sold it and got this one I realized how much I missed the nice ride of stock suspension. Maybe I'll lower it someday but I'll need a different driveway before I do. I scrape a little as it is.
 
I hate to say it bro but he's right you gotta lower that, that gap inbetween the wheel well and the tire is too large...but then again thats just my opinion....nice rims though
 
I'd bet that the gap on that car isn't any larger than nearly any other stock vehicle on this board. Its not like I put a lift kit on it or something. That's how Honda built it. Lowering it wouldn't do anything but scrape up my front end anyway. I'm going to definatly have to wait on that one. I don't want to have to deal with screwed up camber, messed up front end from scraping, and harsh ride from being lowered. If I was racing in it then it would be a different story. I don't need a drop to get to and from work.

These are made in the same factory side by side with the C5s. The only difference is the Concept Five sticker on the one spoke doesn't say Racing Hart. I got a smokin deal on these too. I paid less than a grand out the door. Can't pass up a deal like that. :)

I'm just messing with ya. They look really nice.
 
Nice looking wheels, they look good on the car. Always a risk IMO until you put them on and see how it all looks together. Good choice :up
 
I might be biased, but I think you made a good choice.:D I also agree with you on keeping your ride height stock. I lowered my car a year ago and even though I like the look, I miss the feel of the stock suspension.

I agree with you there. I know my car would look really good if I dropped it a little, but its better like this in the long run. No bottoming out on dips and no curb rash when pulling into my driveway... Not to mention that the GSR's suspension was never second rate to begin with. I think its pretty good for a sedan.



Hey, are those rims the real deal? I wanted to get the Racing Hart C5s but I couldn't find them at a price I could afford. Katanas are made side by side with the C5s so I figure this is about as close as you can get. :) What do you think about the Concept Five sticker? Should I scrape it?
