Wow. One of my favorite. Just not wide enough

Wurly, I’ll get the light on the car for the MOT and I agree with Rats, Type-S wheels are one of the best OEM wheels for the 5G Prelude but not wide enough. I have got something that looks so much similar but bigger and wider.

That's why they're the worst...
They look completely 'lost' on the car.
All the other oem prelude alloys (every gen) suit their respective gens, than those!

Finally got my new wheels fitted to the car and here some pictures of the car. Enkei RP01 - 17x7.5 ET32 with 215/45/17. Choose these wheels as they are kind of like the OEM Type-S wheels but bigger and fill up the arches better and of course they're JDM..

Fills up the arches so much better

I know the car's body work needs an attention and it's going to be sorted out next month.

The tyres are catching on the rear arch a bit

so will need to get the arches rolled too..

One of my favourite wheels

What colour are you going to get them refurbished in?

I wanted to keep to the OEM+ theme so was thinking original silver colour.. maybe a tad brighter so it stands out but I’ll see later when the time comes to refurb them.

Gold badging on the black bodywork is a lovely touch
