Hey bro,
Check out JDM Stuff. We are always glad to have fellow members join the group. Just please Zero Rice... It gives the rest of us Honda / Acura owners a bad name.
You should stick to smaller rims like 15's and 16's due to the fact that it will look nicer in the public eye and you'll get more compliments. There are plenty of replica rims to choose from or if you have the money go for name brands.
Rota
Drag
Spun
Enkei
Volk
BBS
etc...
Check out these JDM Videos. Theyre my favorite. The 2nd video is of a JDM Front DC2... epic.

Bro I forgot to mention, just imagine how lucky you are to have a clean, all stock, good condition DC2? It's hard enough to find a clean reliable DC4 Nowadays (B18B), just think about a clean title, good condition DC2...
I drove 6 hrs away for mine and I searched for weeks to find the perfect one. I was almost going to settle for an LS right before I found my GSR.!
Also, forget about the blue book because DC2's are priced to whatever you want them to be... People will pay for something they want. Milage doesn't mean a thing in an Integra. I'd rather get a 200k integra over a 50k modded integra thats been raped to hell. Compression and quality is what matters. Also, engine swaps are pretty cheap. You figure about less than 2k for a very low milage JDM engine with installation if the rest of your other parts are still good. Like tranny, etc...

Jmags are one of my favorite wheels. Good Choice! :thumbs up
Keep in mind that tires for 16's are going to be more expensive than on the 15's. So if you're a baller on a budget, 15's might be the way to go. Also, lowering the car will make whatever rims you get look bigger. Unless you plan to keep your DC at stock height, just about any size rims will look wack. Be careful on lowering your car. Research on camber wear or you'll be going through sets of tires like crazy!!!!!!!
.
BUY THE WHEELS AS A SET OF 4! You'll end up saving money. Don't buy the wheels separate or you'll likely spend like $100 bucks more. I noticed that they we're being sold per wheel. Tire / Wheel packages are also wayyyy cheaper. Contact the seller or just search "rota tires". They're cheaper because the rims already come mounted and balanced. They also cut the price on the set of 4 rims and 4 tires because you're not paying seperate. They usually provide locking nuts too and free shipping!
or heres a link to one I found for a decent price, but they're 15's. The picture has a 5 lug, but the description says 4x100.
If you go with 15's go with tire size 195-50-15. They will look nicer.

Installed my tein SS coilovers today checks it out. I didn't wanna lower it too low right now because I don't have my cambers yet. Does it matter what kind I get? Do I have to get both front and rear?

That's some good suspension. I don't know about the DC's on camber wear because I haven't lowered mine "yet". I had major camber wear on my old DA when I lowered it. I only want to lower my DC about 2" to around TypeR height because I couldn't go to any shopping center or any speed bump before. :lol:Installed my tein SS coilovers today checks it out.
