are these rims the same exact size as ours? the reason i was asking is because i'd like to get some of those for my car. i just put new tires on my car over the summer and i was wondering if i found some 97 se 5 spokes could i put my new tires on them, or would i be wasting my new set of tires?

 

they are 16in, where 3rd gen rims are 15in

 

that sucks, i guess i'll have to ride around on my ugly stock gxe rims for awhile. i'd hate to get new rims and have to buy tires AGAIN.

the gxe rims are such a pain to clean and i was thinkin that the 5 spokes would be much easier and they would look 10x better.

 

yea i have the same decision, i just bought tires over the summer, but im about to get the 97 rims, but they come with tires and alittle tread left

 

You should get them and put them on later... cause they look SWEET!!!

 

They'd look better if they weren't covered in brake dust.

 

You have no idea...

 

time fo a washin

 

Personally, I would get the 5th gen 16s. IMO I think they look cleaner and they also look a little bigger becuase it doesnt have an outer lip.

 

u are biast i like them both but i couldnt find the 5th gens in my price range

 

honestly, I think that the 5th gen's look ghey... and that was before I got the 4th gen wheels.

 

bah humbug

 

who needs 5 spoke wheels when you've got.....

POWDER COATED WHITE ONES

 

I like the 5th gen because the look bigger and In my opinion also look more stylish and less stock. I dont have that problem though

 

really?? I got mine sub $400 brand new

 

i guess i didnt look hard enough, did u find them here?

 

They were on ebay and in the for sale forum. I bought them and the guy selling them lived in NH about 40 miles from me in MA so I picked them up.
