Racing Hart M5 rims...yes or no?

What do you guys think?





If not, any other suggestion? I plan to get either 18" or 19".

Yes, they look tight, but they are expensive. I do have a bit of $$$ since I sold the SC. So, I got get something to make up for the loss. I want 19s since I'm basically show now, so heavy rims won't matter. I plan to get a kit later on too. Btw, I also ordered a 97-99 front bumper and SE grill. Going to be a good project.

Well, there go my "trying to lower my debt" idea. It's out the door now.



Oh, if you are wondering, my black rims will go to my sister. She has a '00 Accord V6 sedan. I checked and it should fit her car. It had the same specs as our car. Of course I will sell it to her cheaper, very cheap actually. I won't disclose the amount, but let just say that if I was to post that same amount for sale here, there probably would be many takers.

Nice choice...

18"s cost $3200, and 19" $3700, both with tires. The are nice, but I have seen a lot of ripoffs. Lots of people around here also have the M5 1-piece, but NOBODY the 3-piece.

I think I'm going with 18s, 19s seem a bit much. I'm going to order them from the site that gtr_rider posted, thanks man.


Now, should I go with 18x7.5 or 18x8? What's the widest tires I could go for both that will fit my car with no problem?

If I were you, I would get the 19's. They look really small in 18's because of them being a 3 piece wheel with a lip. I had those, then sold them to a guy with a mustang, and they looked so so small on his car. But it's you're car, do what makes you happy.

19s? That is mucho $$$.


I thought it over and maybe just get 17s because the prices are high as hell.

I would get 17x8 or 18x8, as for tires shop around, or maybe one day we can just swap out for a week and you determine if you want to go with a 17 or a 18. Dont forget your car is evenly dropped. You saw my 18's and they dont look small at all.

I think 17s are better for me. Not too big, not too small. Plus, there are more affordable.

I definetly say go for them. They're nice wheels. Even those other ones that were posted were nice. I liked the finish on them alot!

Good luck with whatever you get!!
