The car is a 93 red LX hatch. I was thinking about 96-97 Cobra wheels. The ones with the black inserts. I am not a big fan of the 5 spoke cobra wheels. It has to be 17 inch and 5 lug. I kind of want to stay with a oem wheel. I was thinking about the 5 star with skinnies up front, but I drive the car on the street. any suggestions or pics? Thanks

this is one of the more common threads, and a little searching will net a bazillion pics,.....personally, I would recommend round wheels,.... they make the installation of round tires a snap, they ride much smoother than the more commonly available out of round tires, and are far cheaper than square ones.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Yeah, but have you ever seen a square tire make a corner?

It's a little bumpy,...I'll give you that,....but you can really get a square tire close to the curb

Beat up turbines always look sick. Seriously though just pick a wheel that YOU think looks good, the only real advice I have is don't waste your time or money on a set of 4 lug wheels and upgrade the front brakes when you swap to 5 lug.
