Finally! traded 20's for 19's - pics inside - tell me what you think
So i posted a thread last week about trading some 20" Lexani Chrome Slate Wheels for some 19" Enkei RS-7 wheels. Well... I did and I am pretty happy with them. I slammed it on Ground Controls, not as low as i wanted it but good enough to tuck the rear tire and a little in the front. Tell me what you guys think, sorry for the bad pictures, took them in school parking lot - lol.
Thanks for looking!

19" damn do you have any suspension travel at all? What happens when you turn? Your tires must be rubbing and I know 19" tires aren't cheap. Anyways, keep the ride looking clean.

Rep Power: 0 Oh, one more thing, i need opinions on whether i should paint my lip kit white because when i recieved it, it was already painted black. A lot of people say that it corresponds with my hood, grille, and soon to be headlights. Plus, i think i might paint the wheels black and leave the polished lip. Dunno help me out guys!

Rep Power: 0 I can make full u-turns without any rubbing and it rides pretty damn good for 19's. About the tires, they're only like $100 off of tirerack for like a continental, cheap tire but useable. and yeah i plan to keep it jdm, i'm working on a turbo right now, i have everything i need, just missing an e-manage.

Rep Power: 256 I would paint the lip kit white but thats just me bc I like flow. You can get away with just the hood being black and black rims look very sexy on a white car in my opinion.
it looks like you lost the chrome door handles and such too. Now trade the 19"s for some 18"s or 17"s lol

Rep Power: 0 Not really feelin the car, man. Not sure why.
Personally, I think the wheels are too big, but I doubt you're gonna change that. Black out the headlights, that will help an amazing amount. There's a DIY somewhere on here if you don't know exactly what we're talking about.
Oh, and if I were you I wouldn't be stepping on the toes of the few people on here that actually have experience with the car.

Rep Power: 262 nothings wrong with 19s... they're just strait pimp! im' personally sick of seeing civics that all look alike. Everyone does the 17s/or 18s. The 19s are looking nice. I understand why you're not painting the lip and there's nothing wrong with that... goes well with the black and white theme. Nice work bro.

Rep Power: 239 Car looks nice, the rims go well with your car. Like said before blacking out your headlights would make a big difference. Personally i like the black and white theme it might be played out but it sure as hell looks nice. Keep up tha good work and keep it clean
