Talking Got my new wheels and springs installed!

I just got everything done today.
here's the before pic


Before anyone mentions it, yes! This picture was flipped, i did it so it would be on the same side as the after pic.

And here's the after pic


I got Neuspeed sport springs
(1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the back)
18" Motegi MR3's Gunmetal (yeah, i know! it's big for a civic... but hey, they look amazing!)
Dunlop F1 tires 215/35/18

And it all looks NICE!!!

Looks good man.

Is that top pick inverted or something? Because your gas cap looks like its on the passenger side.

Peace

The whole package:
800 for the wheels (bought them on ebay, includes shipping, customs and other fees... worth 300 + tax each so i figured it was a good deal)
290 for the springs (also from ebay)
950 for the tires (got them at deals for wheels in Gloucester)
350 for installation and allignment (at Frisby tires)
-----------
2390 for everything (taxes and everything included)

and i thought that the wheels would slow me down alot, but i was quite surprised to see that it's not too bad. I have noticed some loss, but very minimal. I'm going to make up for it with an AEM true power pulleys kit though, so it's all good! But the cornering now is sooooo good! I love it! I love the look! Can't wait to show it off.
