Gettin Some Wheels
 
Well, I was think of Enkei Shogun's but I'm not sure so I own a Silver 2000 Protege and I wanna get the biggest rims I can that still look good, so what looks good, I wanna spen around or under 1k for the rims.

16's would be biggest for around $1k Unless you can find some really cheap 17's. The bigger the rim the heavier they are, therefore harder for your car to turn em. I have seen 18's kill gas mileage on various cars. Infact, my 18's took me from 425 miles per tank to 350 miles per tank. Bigger looks better, but isn't always "better". I had 16's on my old civic and loved em, get nothing smaller than a 45 tire, I have 35's on my 18's and they blow out very easily around here (shitty roads).

Centerline RPM wheels in 19's are only 14 pounds. Bigger does not always mean heavier :D

in 19" I would hope to get a little stronger rim than a puny 14 lbs one. I am sure it looks good, but bends rather easy :D

Nope. Forged. Quite strong. And the 17" are 11 pounds.

Never judge light weight as meaning flimsy.

I stand corrected, but are the 19" 14 lbers around $1,000? I think not :) They are not in his price range, which is mainly what I was comparing, otherwise I would have told em to be looking to spend around $3,000 with tires for a good set of rims, which is completely useless unless you plan on leaving em in the garage and only putting them on for show.
