newbie..
 
Hello. Im new to the honda, just got a 2001 Lx auto sedan last week. I can't decide if i should put in 16" or 17" wheels. I don't plan on lowering the car because of the winters here and don't want the ride to be rough. Even if i decide to lower the car in the future, i won't drop it more than an inch F/R both. Any suggestions?

I plan on putting in a cat-back exhaust system possibly Magnaflow, K&N panel air filter and headers but don't know which one.

any input would be highly appreciated!! thanks.

I personally like bigger rims, just make sure if you're not going to drop it that you get a big enough sidewall on your tires to close up that wheel gap.

smaller rims = better acceleration

I don't plan on racing the car, just want to know what would be better in snow 17" or 16" and which would have a comfy ride?

and which headers should i get with a Magnaflow catback?

you can only get one header

faisal_ 08-27-2005 05:11 PM

Ok its header, but which one?

Im running DC sport, good stuff... no complaints. I'm running a 02 EX coupe btw...

^im runnin dc sports also, and i cant really feel a power difference. i recommend that you go with the hp race header or kamikaze header.

here are some pointers
 
if you are gonna be dealing with snow go 16" rims the thicker the tire the less you will feel. and it is true the bigger the rim is the owrse your acceleration will be. physics it takes more energy to turn a wheel when you increase its size.

i cant decide where to move this thread to. other products/parts, suspension, or wheels.

Robb989 08-28-2005 08:56 PM

18's or go home

Have fun with your car, it's a good little car....

I have HP Racing header on mine, I enjoy it. As for wheels, I also have 17's... go for what you LIKE. Everyone has their own reasons for getting what they've got... so do what you like. :)

grab your balls and get some 18s. spend the money on the wheels first and then worry about the header
