plan on dropping a grand for nice used good offset rims.pandagarage has some ok advans right now.if you want new rims, plan on the account being empy unless you go for xxr or somthign like that.type "jdm wheels" into ebay and usually some pretty dope sets will be listed, probbaly in the 1000-1500 range.also being on the east coast limits cool used stuff, also, you didnt say whether your 4 or 5 lug.if 4, then try some 5zigen...there one of the few that make good size wheels for 4x114.3

What about rim size? I believe I have 15in rims(stock1990240sxcoupe). Im looking at some wheel and rim packages on tires.com and they offer from 15-18inches. Would sizes like 17 and 18 even fit on my car? Thanks for the help everyone.-Ace

ok dude. go to the tire/wheel section in these forums. you will learn quicker there.

but to answer your question, yes, 17 and 18 inch wheels will fit. even 19 inch and 20 inch could fit. it all depends on the the ride height, tire size, amount of work you want to do to your fenders, etc.

What you might want to take in to consideration is how much power your car is putting down, don't cram some 18's and hope the sohc ka will rotate them, that's a lot of wheel to move. But you probably all ready know this common sense stuff....
