looks nice, are you going for the 215/45/17 tire size? I am running on some Nakayama rims and the es100 tires (215/45/17). I love the grip of those tires. they kick *** in the rain too.

yup a 215-45-17. The guy at the place told me his gf has a 215-45 on her 17s and the size is perfect for the 01+s cause they have a bigger wheel well. He also told me he drove with the ES100s once and they kicked ***. It was either those or the Parada Spec 2s but he said for the $30 more the Parada's are that you get better performance with the ES.

The combo is going to cost $1350 out the door.

I love those tires. They stick like glue for the most part, they're predictable as hell on the limit, and they're pretty quiet. I killed mine pretty quick autocrossing on them (well, 2 are real bad, the back ones are ok). 12K miles and I'd say there's about 50% left on the back and 30% on the fronts... Tire Rack told me I might get about 30K out of them, so I guess they did alright considering the abuse.

These wheels stuck out to me at the place Town Fair. I like the fact that they are inset a bit and have a silver lip edge. I think they would look slick on my civic. I have an 02 silver coupe as well.

Nice wheels. Looks like a good tire combo. I have the RH Evo CPS 17x7 in granite with nitto neogen 205/40zr/17. The tires are really good. They grip very well with the way I drive.
