i had 18" kosei seneka roms with a 35 series tire for a while, and i didn't think it looked that bad, especially with a low lip/skirts. there wasn't any fender modifications or anything i needed to do, but i couldn't correct the camber, and i def couldn't make sharp fast uturns anyway, now with a 17"rim/40 series tire, i have near perfect camber and can make those uturns again

and while everyone else says that a 16" rim is better, i personally think it looks too small :dunno:

go with 16's and invest in a better suspension. You will not be able to get a coilover kit and shocks for $250 unless it fell off a truck or its a no name cheapo on e-bay

17s are borderline clown. I think the OEM kit makes a world of difference. You agree Antarius?

We should form a 17" wheels + OEM kit Integra "crew".

Now that I've heard all of this, I think I'll pass on the modern image body decals and/or c/f mirrors and put the $ into a better lowering kit. I personally do believe 16's look to small, especially with the "extreme" style body kit I'm getting. 17's are decent, but man, 18's are the shit (look at the silver teg above - perfect). Thanks again for the help

One last thing - Depending on whether I get this job at Mohegan Sun (casino - valet), I will probably get a type of air bag or hydraulic type suspension for ultimate flexibility and better ride quality. Any suggestions on whats good for this? Nitrogen, hydraulics, air bags, etc.? Good companies to buy from or if it requires other extensive mods? Thanks

My friends care (Silver teg above) originally had coilovers but they just didn't cut it. The pic shows it with air cylinders or something, so he was able to adjust the camber for normal driving height. Looks and rides great, but once again do not skimp on suspension!

Don't forget the big shoes.

Just kidding man, whatever floats your boat. You might have a lot better luck asking about air ride stuff in the appearance/cosmetic forum. If you don't have luck there try the Accord forum.

Just not a lot of people with Tegs on air ride in comparsion to some of the bigger Hondas.
