What Wheels Shall my Em2 Wear?

My tires are about bald and I have the lame stock plastic hub caps. I have no idea what wheels and tires I should go for next. All I know is that, I want wider tires. Im not sure what a good color would be for my car. Its like a Bluish black, you can only see the blue shade in the sun, other than that its black lol

Help please

Re: What Wheels Shall my Em2 Wear?

Depends on your budget, but it sounds like you want something the same colour as volk magnesium blue.

He was describing the color of his car.


OP whatever you do try not to be like %95 of the 7thgen community and rock Rota's/xxr's. Think outside the box and be original.

Re: What Wheels Shall my Em2 Wear?

90% of honda people buy rota and xxr because they like the look of volk, work and ccw high end wheels but don't want to pay as much as they bought there car for to get them. there is nothing wrong with rota and xxr as a matter of fact they have new models coming out that look really good.

Re: What Wheels Shall my Em2 Wear?

Gram Light 57F in gunmetal gray or the Rota Variant of this.

16: 215/50r16
17: 215/45r17

16 or 17 inch and depending if you see snow or not, if you do wrap em in Continental DWS or if just rain and dry, Falken Azenis PT722

Upon doing this however, upgrade your sway bars

FYI with ROTA they are known to crack or split as they are not forged alloy. If this is just for daily driving, then you should be fine, but if you track (auto-x) this, dont.

Here's the list of Knockoffs that Rota Has:
