civ10jbiz 06-06-2005 08:05 PM

ciVictoria 06-06-2005 08:10 PM

Not exactly my style.

civ10jbiz 06-06-2005 08:34 PM

o well all my friends like em...lol

boombazokajoe91 06-06-2005 08:42 PM

looks pretty good....just drop it and will look lots better

CarbonFly 06-06-2005 09:58 PM

eh, you could have done worse, but you could have done a lot better. Chrome isn't what i think when i think of wheels for a civic.

HondaNation 06-06-2005 10:03 PM

im not too much of chrome but those rims are hot! really dont go wit that color of the vic....clean ass rims though

:shrug:



















:lol: im just messin with ya.... as long as u like it its all that matters.... never been a fan of those rims, specially in chrome.... but do ur thing Yo!

drew22mader 06-06-2005 11:26 PM

I like the style of rim, 02 civic rida don't know what hes talking about, heh, kidding 02 civic rida. I have the same wheel only in Opal finish. I liked the chrome just not on a civic, but do your thing.

joelwastaken 06-07-2005 01:07 AM

lol i think it could look waaaaaay tight but you probably should have gotten some other things out of the way first...

like you should have done front lip/skirts and drop and then done then do the rims

and i would personally ditch the mudflaps (wtf you need mudflaps for with those rims lol! not like your gonna be rompin through any mud, plus itll look cleaner with that huge o rims)

but ya its got potential, just looks like youre being a little impatient for perfection lol

just my .02 but its your car man do what you like ;)

Echelon04 06-07-2005 08:20 AM

Lookin good man. Definitely take off those mud guards though. It will look a lot better if you do.

HondaLuver 06-07-2005 09:30 AM

dude, those for some reason look pimp. one because they are a decent 19 inch rim style and 2 they are konig.

dude, girl will be on ur nuts, they are always like, oh, nice rims... can i suck ur ****...lol... only the dumb hoes are attracted to your rims like a moth to fire...

bOoStEd042dr 06-07-2005 09:44 AM

nice wheels/cars looks good jst needs the drop like everyones said...save for some good coil overs though!

civ10jbiz 06-07-2005 10:57 AM

goin out right now to lose the mud flaps....lol i just never really thought about it

exturbo6 06-07-2005 10:59 AM

nice rims...how is it riding on rubber bands.

2004_sq_champ 06-07-2005 11:02 AM

I have the same car and i actually think it looks good. When you drop that on your coils that will look hot as shit

civ10jbiz 06-07-2005 11:02 AM

lol....pretty good actually i really dont even notice the difference that much besides a little bit of noise...stiffness i cant even tell the diff

honda860 06-07-2005 11:11 AM

I thought the biggest rimms you could put on a civic without cutting out wheel wells where 18's. I got 18's on mine and in a complete turn im like a quarter inch from the instead so you must rub like crazy. let me know cus im curious

Echelon04 06-07-2005 11:13 AM

Im glad you got those flaps off...also you may want to lose the pinstripes on the side. I have the same exact car you do, and I took mine off last week and it looks so much cleaner without them.

Nah i dont rub at all actually, i guess u just have to go with a smaller tire the bigger the wheel. As a matter of fact, the shop actually told me i could do 20's if i wanted to, but i didnt lol.

Any pics of it without the stripe?

Is this a good buy? And are these what everyone refers to as true coilovers?

mexinaction 06-07-2005 01:08 PM

they pretty good. they match your car IMO

not too much chrome....just right i think

civ10jbiz 06-07-2005 01:17 PM

thanks mexinaction, but anybody know about those skunk2's? i know skunk2 is pretty good brand but is that good buy and are those true coilovers?

chicohonda02 06-07-2005 01:22 PM

crome on a vic, hmmm.... i dunno doesn't look that bad.

Blahman240 06-07-2005 01:23 PM

GOOD LORD! Those Rubber bands are tires?

my2k1vic 06-07-2005 01:31 PM

personally, i think it needs a kit even with a drop. the wheels look too big with the stock bumpers

Octane Joe 06-07-2005 01:40 PM

1st, Im not a fan of chrome, but yours look hot! 2nd those coilovers should be fine... I may be wrong, but I heard that brand is good... 3rd dont listen to them, rims/drop should always be first, it looks stupid to have a nice ass body kit on stock height and stock rims, then if you drop it w/ body kit, the stock rims look even worse... just my .02. IMO you are doing just fine, keep up the good work :rockon:
