It's called Super Sonic Blue pearl. In bright light it has purple overtones. At night it turns a royal midnight hue. I love the color. The contrast with the bronze Volks makes the color even brighter.

I got 17 on my ls, and indeed I noticed an increase in gas consumption, as well as a drecrease of top speed.

You didn't say what sort of integra you have.

But I'd say 16s should be enough, unless you increase power to more than 200hp.

Yep. It took me forever to find. Some kid bought it, the dealer couldn't finace him and repoed it. I got it used with 1000 miles on it.

Increased gas consumption results from YOU giving the car more gas to move those huge wheels.

Top speed will actually increase because the larger the wheel the farther apart two points on the outside of the tire are. Therefore, "reading" it as a higher top speed.

------------------------

I'd get 16's if you have a GSR because they're geared for 15" wheels, so there will be minimal difference. If you have an LS, try 15".
