If you put spinners on your Legend I will be forced to put it out of its misery ;-)

as much as i like spinners on certain vehicles... i don't think i'd like them much on mine.

seeing how i'm prolly looking at getting 14's or 16's... and the fact that i drive a sedan... i think just a more simple type of rim would give the effect i'm going for with my dearest Franklin.

Your current rims (if they're stock) are 15" Your tires are 205/60/15. If you're going to get new rims I would upsize at least one or two inches. I tend to like larger rims (within reason) on cars, but not everyone likes the low profile tires. The key to upsizing rims is keeping the overall diameter (wheel + tire) the same as it is currently. Otherwise your speedometer will be off.

You could go with these sizes.... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireSection.do?yr=1990&vid=007047

I would just take a look around some of the main websites
www.discounttiredirect.com
www.tirerack.com
www.wheelmax.com
and get a feel for what you like. Once you figure out what you want you can start looking for the best deal.

I'll see what I can find out about exhausts for the Legend.

Forgot to mention, when looking at wheels I think you should look for either 16 or 17 inch. And the width should be 6.5 - 7 inches. Your lugnut pattern is 4 x 100/114.3 That means you have four lugnuts and their size is 100mm. The wheel websites will ask for that info when you're searching.

Whao Whao now... No one notified me that we changed places...

Legend is in my opinion a "Dependable Gentleman" kind of car. For your rims, I'd go with something that has thick, sturdy-looking spokes. Be proud of his rectangular shape, don't go with curvey rims or one that has mirror finish.

16" sounds just right. 17" wouldn't be so bad either. If money is an issue for you, note that bigger rims means more expensive tires.

As for spinners... Let's just say that I do keep a ninja sword on my Eliza.
