Re: Just got new wheels. :-) **Updated + Pics**
Hey. Got the wheels on. Here are the pics of my "suv" (i need to lower it):

Name: IMAG0083.jpg Views: 168 Size: 214.7 KB
Name: IMAG0077.jpg Views: 154 Size: 223.7 KB
Name: IMAG0067.jpg Views: 129 Size: 233.2 KB
Name: IMAG0092.jpg Views: 118 Size: 74.6 KB

Quick Notes:
-Took the parts to the local Tire Kingdom and an untrained worker scratched 2 of my brand new rims when mounting. They will be replacing them (they better).
-If you are interested in my stock rims, shoot me a PM.

Re: Just got new wheels. :-)
what do you think of those tires you have, are they noisy? was looking into these for next year since the tires on my 17"s are cheap junk...already wore and sound just as loud as my winter studded tires

Re: Just got new wheels. :-)
Not really my style but I'm sure I would like them more once the car is lowered.

I would say they are very quiet. But really, our civics are noise prone cars. Honda didn't really invested in sound proofing for the EM2s.

The tires themselves are a nice performance improvement. I like them.
