Motegi FF7 in glossy black

Fellas, what do you guys think about these rims, and how do you think they will look on a black 2004 Civic coupe ? http://www.motegiracing.com/wheels/d...yle=2378&desc=

Thanks. Mark

i actually like those, but would like them a whole lot more if they didn't have the rivets in them.

Yeah fellas, got the rims, and they look sweet. Only thing now is I got some Honda haters living in my complex and now I have three ding dents on my left door but I'm trying not to let that get me down. Anyways do you think I should lower my car ? Their is a gap, and I could get a Eibach lowering spring kit for about $350.00 installed that will lower it about 1.4 inches all the way around. Do you think it will be worth it, and will this void my warranty ? According to Les Schwab it won't , and they will warranty any problems that may occur as a result of installing the springs. Thanks for all the input.

Oh yeah, I have 215/45/17 tires all the way around. Will they rub if I do lower it ?

Later, Marcusg

Just a FYI, but Sportlines ends up lowering MORE than 1.4 inches.

I payed $ 1,088.00 that includes all taxes. This was for rims, tires (215/45/17), locks, lugs, mounting and balancing. Since I got it at Schwab Tires it also came with their warranty, and in my opinion, great customer service. I compared this price with online shops, and after everything, the price was about the same or more, so I decided to just get them at Schwab. Plus they got the 90 days same as cash which really helps me out. Forget about what the other local tire/wheel stores were asking...$$$$$
