Question Need Opinions




These Wheels


With these tires ES100

What do you guys think? I'm possibly gonna buy them tomorrow but I wanted your guys opinion first.

215/40/17

Wheels, Tires, Labor, Valves, Lifetime warranty on Tires, Lugs and Key. Also free balancing, repair, air check and rotation for as long as I have the tires all for $1,245. So what do you guys think? Too much? Or about right? I love the wheels but you guys know more about the technical stuff so i come to the professionals.

The wheels are going on a Silver 01 LX Coupe with a 1.2 Drop all around from eibachs prokit.

I think it will look good on a silver car, and the price sounds reasonable. I think I'd go with 21545R17 over the 21540R17, JMO though.

Alright bought the wheels and tires gotta wait till March 10 when they come in. Bought a type-b front lip still need sides and rear. Also bought the OEM spoiler. Bought SPC camber front and back GB from TrueHonda for $139 shipped! Great deal! What do you guys think about the Aero Side w/ the front type-b lip? Any suggestions on a rear? I'll post pics as soon as i get the wheels on.

Damn i'm going broke..........

There is a red 7thgen with those rims at my college.... when i first saw them I thought they were tight until i saw them in person. they are very ugly and looks much much better on picture then they do in real life for some reason.

the "shiny" part of the rim isnt that shiny and the "black" part is like a dark gunmetal color which in the end looks like ****.
